I think I need guidance with the below listed update for my computer. Since installing it it turns my system off if I am not using it for more than 10 minutes. I checked for solutions through Microsoft and was told that service pack 1 solves this problem, but I already have service pack 1, and the problem still exists. Can anyone help me solve this problem, or point me in the right direction? Thank You.

Welcome to DH.

Let me make sure I understand, you updated your video drivers through windows updated and now you're computer is turning off when you aren't using it for more than 10 minutes?

Have you checked to see if Sleep Mode has been enabled? To do this:
Right Click and select "Personalize" ->"Scree Saver"->"Cahnge power settings", you can either select the "High Performance Profile" or on the left there should be options to change how the computer sleeps/hybernates. In there, just disable it.
