Usually if the screen saver doesn't start after the idle time, it's one of these things:

  • Some browser tab or media app is requesting the computer stay awake.
  • Some device driver is requesting the computer stay awake. In my experience it's been things like wireless keyboards, mice, game controllers, etc that do this.

You can run the following at an elevated command prompt to check if something is requesting a wake lock. It won't always show the culprit but usually does: 
powercfg /requests


Hope that helps! ]]> Screensaver not working https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screensaver-not-working/?ID=0195981a-d04c-7773-afd6-7d7476dc95d9 Sat, 15 Mar 2025 04:40:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screensaver-not-working/?ID=0195981a-d04c-7773-afd6-7d7476dc95d9 DisplayFusion I have displayfusion set to allow the management of the screensaver. I set the timeout to 2 min to try to test but the screensaver never comes on? If there some other kind of setting i am missing? ]]>
