MacBook Pro Screensaver not coming on
No matter what I do, I cannot get my MacBook Pro screen saver to activate. On battery and on power adapter. Won't turn off display either.

G'day mtc_epa,
If we understand correctly, your screensaver is not activating and your display doesn't appear to be sleeping. If that's right, the steps in this link might help to identify what's preventing your Mac from sleeping: If your Mac sleeps or wakes unexpectedly
The link above covers a number of possibilities. Check those out, and let us know what you find.
Cheers.

Hello,
well not really, but it showed me the way. Finally I found out that there is a process (Microsoft remote desktop) that prevents the screensaver from starting. This I found in Activity monitor.
Cheer, V.
Thanks for taking time to reply. I read that restarting in saw mode and then a normal restart might fix it and it did! Huzzah.
Hi mtc_epa,
That's wonderful to hear! Thanks for providing that update to the community. Have a wonderful rest of your day.
Cheers!
