Dell xps 8700 does not go to sleep

I have varied the screen saver settings and find that the screen saver does not always come on, and if it does, it rarely ever triggers the computer to go into sleep mode as I desire it to.  It has gotten worse with the new windows 10 anniversary update.

Appreciate thoughts

    I get the dell updates now.  I do not see why system restore is of any value for an issue that is ongoing for months.

    That would not be a good use of time.  I guess Dell is not able to see how to fix the issue.

    I do not intend to reinstall the operating systgem.  that is too much effort.  There is nothing wrong with that and I suspect there is  a setting that is not working well.

    i had already updated the display card drivers.   that did not help.  no need for further help from Dell, unless you know the exact cause. . thanks
