  1. How to make screensaver go into sleep mode after a few minutes?


    I have Windows 11 and I wanted to know if there was a way to set my screensaver to go on after x minutes and then x minutes after that, have my pc go to sleep? I like using the screensaver while I’m sitting at my desk on my phone and listening to music from my pc screensaver won’t pause music unlike sleep mode but sometimes I’ll unexpectedly walk away from my pc for extended periods of time and come back to my music still playing with my screensaver on. I do like to conserve energy when possible so it does get a little upsetting but I also don’t like my pc falling asleep, stopping my music,

    :)

    Sleep / Hibernate mode after 2 minutes. Windows 10

    I've been struggling with this issue since I got my computer 3 days ago. Guess what? It was the screen saver. I followed all the suggestions listed in this thread and nothing worked.

    My screensaver was disabled but still was closing my screen when idle for 1 minute. Went into the screen saver, enabled it and changed the time from 1 min to 8k. Disabled the screensaver again and exited. No more sleeping display.

    New bug Microsoft! Fix it please.

  3. Screensaver off in sleep

    The screensaver and sleep are two different things. The screensaver can run any time that the system is active, but it cannot run while the computer is sleeping. One strategy would be to set the screensaver to kick off after a certain period of inactivity, then allow the computer to go to sleep after a LONGER delay than the screensaver. Example: Set the screensaver to run after 15 minutes of inactivity, then go to sleep after 30 minutes. The result is that the screen save will run after 15 minutes up to the 30 minute mark at which time the computer will sleep and the screensaver will cease.

    Photo Gallery screensaver won't allow "sleep" mode in Windows 10

    I have Windows 10 and have imported the old Windows Photo Gallery, which works great. However, when I set it up as a screensaver and set Windows to go into "sleep" mode 20 or so minutes later, it never goes into "sleep" mode. The screensaver just keeps
    going, even all night long. I have set the screensaver to "bubbles," and "sleep" mode comes on as scheduled, so I'm guessing this must be the fault of Photo Gallery. Can this be fixed, or can I substitute another screensaver that might be built into my Windows
    10? If so, what would the name of it be?

    Thank you.
