screen savers do not show

Screensavers were not working before last update, after 11.3 they are still not working. Any solutions in the meantime?

Hey there!


In System Preferences > Desktop and Screensaver > Screen Saver Tab

Make sure that there is no yellow exclamation mark next to the "Show screensaver after..." drop down box.


If there is a yellow exclamation mark, it is likely that the time before the screensaver shows is later than the "Display Off" setting found in System Preferences > Battery > Battery OR Power Adapter tabs.


Make sure that the Display Off slider duration is greater than that of the "Show screensaver after..." setting and your screensavers should display.
