Screen saver not starting at designated time.

For about 6 months now my screen saver does not start at designated times. I have it set to 10 minutes now and I just came in from yard work after two hours and it's still sitting here open and burning in my screens.

This subjects us all to security issues as people can come in and view keychains and other sensitive passwords.

Pretty important that security works on Apple computers. What's next with Apple? Seems like they should stop dumping out new hardware and fix all this broken code firs huh?

Yes I have my screen saver set to 10 minutes. Yes I've tested preview. Yes hot corners work.

In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.

Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.

Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?
