Big Sur Screen Saver Sporadic
So... 13 of the screen savers from Big Sur work fine while 6 of them are not so. Of the six, the most common issue is that they begin fine and then simply stop after 4 or 5 image changes. Already spoke with Apple support about it and after nearly an hour (restart, unplug and restart, save reboot, reboot under a new user, etc.) now they want me to reinstall the system software. Seriously? That's a lot of work for a 69 year old geezer who doesn't use backup. After all, if 13 screensavers work wouldn't it seem that my computer works with their screensaver and that the problem is with the other 6 of their new screensavers that don't work?
So if anyone has advice I'd sure like to not have to save all my stuff to hard drives, re-download Photoshop, plug ins, other software packages and stuff just to find that, yup, that's not the answer either.
13 screensavers work fine. 6 don’t.
