I'm only able to "break out" of the screensaver by hitting Ctl-Alt-Del, which brings up the Windows lock/switch user/etc. screen and then I can ESC out of that to get back into my desktop. This is with 12.1 beta 1 on Win 11 (25H2 26200.8117).

edit: gah, I see Beta 2 just came out and this is mentioned. Will upgrade.

edit #2: yep, that fixed it. Nothing to see here, please move along ... ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-121-beta-1-blank-screen-saver-not-working/?ID=019d748c-66b2-74d3-b5af-e5a3d8dc56b8#3 Fri, 10 Apr 2026 18:23:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-121-beta-1-blank-screen-saver-not-working/?ID=019d748c-66b2-74d3-b5af-e5a3d8dc56b8#3 DisplayFusion We've released a new beta that should fix this up, please let me know if you run into any issues after updating.

After the screen saver activates (whether by time or with "preview") the screen will not come back on. I have to press the power button to turn the PC off and then again to turn it back on. This behavior does not occur when the default Windows blank screen saver is active (DF's screen saver is not selected). ]]>
