Windows 10: How to stop Windows 11 from turning on screen saver during gaming?

Recently I've started using a screen saver set for 1 minute but every time I play games it switches on if there's no input within set 1 minute ie during cutscene. Surely there's a way to stop it from doing that? Switching it off, or changing time is out of the question.I have tried all the solutions in this thread, but no luckhttps://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-11-screen-saver-activates-while-playing/ff5aa5a7-f914-47bc-9ad4-23a7718a9fd3
