Why is my screen saver not working on my computer?
Screensaver works only when the computer is left alone, which means no one is using it. And the monitor needs to stay on. So, if power management setting is turning off the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity before the screensaver wait time of 10 minutes is over, it won’t work. Open Settings again and go to System > Power & sleep.
