Hi - noticed that recently, my MacBook Pro Energy Saver settings don't seem to kick in anymore. Screensaver won't start after the allotted 10 minutes, and the display won't sleep 10 minutes after that. Any suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks!
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), iOS 11.2.5

Aha - I'm seeing that AirPlayUIAgent is preventing the display from going to sleep - thanks for that suggestion. I also just saw that the issue is addressed in the just-released update to 10.13.3. Thanks again!
what is the output of "pmset -g" in the terminal?
I had a small window in the background that was still playing a looping GIF, when last I saw this will-not-sleep problem...
Just read that the issue is addressed in 10.13.3, which was just released. Thanks!
