Mac mini, macOS 26.4
Using Automatic Sleep Mode and Screen Saver can cause problems for some setups.
As a test:
Turn On "Prevent automatic sleeping when display is off"
Set "Start Screen Saver when inactive" to Never
Set "Turn display off when inactive" to 5 or 10 minutes
Leave the Mac Mini On and only allow the display(s) to turn Off
Do not manually Sleep from the Apple Drop Down menu
Shut Down the Mac mini when away for a day or more
Fixes only come, if enough folks send Feedback.
