You can also attach a hotkey to the "Start Screensaver" function in the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions tab, and run it manually. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-screen-saver-issues/?ID=01945fc5-d889-77ff-93f6-c9fc7b248861#5 Tue, 14 Jan 2025 17:11:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-screen-saver-issues/?ID=01945fc5-d889-77ff-93f6-c9fc7b248861#5 DisplayFusion Happy to do so, but what are the right settings to drive startup of the screen saver in DF? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-screen-saver-issues/?ID=01945fc5-d889-77ff-93f6-c9fc7b248861#4 Tue, 14 Jan 2025 16:33:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-screen-saver-issues/?ID=01945fc5-d889-77ff-93f6-c9fc7b248861#4 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over, could you send me a debug log as well? Here are the steps:

• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal"
• Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Reply with the file attached
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

I have set to allow DF to manage screen saver. I have tried windows power settings when plugged in to time out after x hours or to never time out. When set to time out, the screen saver never kicks in, but my monitors time out and are black, except for one small LCD that goes into a no signal mode and strobes different colors all night. If I say to never time out, then they just stay on all night how I left them. The DF screen saver settings are to span all screens. Preview mode looks correct across all 3. I see no time settings for DF control or kick in.

What am I missing here? ]]>
