I have my Mac mini connected to two monitors via USB-C cables. Regardless of the settings under Lock Screen, after I lock the computer, 30 seconds later the displays turn off and (I guess) the Mac goes to sleep. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Mac mini, macOS 14.0
Sorry, the differences is that those screenshots are for a laptop and not a desktop Mac.
Try adjusting your "Turn display off when inactive" setting up to 20 or 30 minutes to see if that helps.
Also do your external displays have a standby sleep timers in their On Screen Menu settings?
If they do, then you may need to adjust those standby or sleep timers to never.
I think I will now stop abusing your time and use the opportunity to thank you for your kind assistance. 🙂
😉👍👋
Exactly what do you mean by "lock the computer"?
do you mean "lock screen"? Ctrl+Cmd+Q ?
I want to know exactly what the OP means by "locking the computer" and precisely how he is doing it.
:D
Great to hear, thanks!:)
good to know, i am using 14.2.x. will update to 14.3 and see.
me too! the settings are all right, however screen goes black on Lock Screen pretty much immediately. I kinda just want to see the screen saver for a bit first. did you all get any fixes?
Display keeps turning off after 30 seconds no matter what the settings say.
