  1. Computer won't go to sleep when a screen saver is active?


    Having a hard time with this one. I installed a screen saver I like last night and now my system won't go to sleep after 10 minutes. I have the screen saver to come on after 5 minutes. I went to all my power settings in control panel and everything seems to be correct after a few google searches. I did a test with a screen saver NOT active and windows goes to sleep just fine at 10 minutes. Any idea on what's going on?

    If it matters, this is the screen saver I am using - https://github.com/cDima/Aerial
