Saw iMac sonoma display once, but now the regular screen display is black.

I recently updated my iMac to Sonoma and it worked great, I could see the pretty new screensaver when switching windows. 4 days after upgrading, I used the Migrate utility to set up my new MacBook from the iMac, and I now see a black screensaver on the iMac, even though I have selected the new screensaver in iMac settings.

iMac 21.5″

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...


Open System Settings>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.


Does it work in the new account?
