My iMac often stucks at the screensaver. It seems like there is no response from mouse, keyboard or usb-input. I found out that when I hit the keys Shift+CMD+Q at the same time, my iMac wakes up.
Unfortunaly all loggedin accounts are logged off.
Who has a better solution? Thank you.
If you do not want or require a password after the screen saver starts, go to: Apple > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General tab > unlock the panel > and uncheck "Require password _____ after sleep or screen saver begins"

I'm using an iMac retina 27", 2017 with Mojave 10.14.5; 3,5 GHz i5, 16GB ram.
This problem happens once in awhile, not always. I can not reproduce. I'd tried pram and smc reset. This might helped for awhile. I also had contact with Apple support. They only suggest pram reset.
I read somewhere on the internet someone with a similar problem had a broken motherboard. But I can't imagine this is the case with my iMac. Anyway, every suggestion is welcom.
Which version of macOS are you using, and which screen saver?

Good question dab' I also wondered if the OP is using a third party screen saver.
Thanks. :)
Thanks, I will try this for awhile. The problem occurs only once in awhile, not always.
