Windows 10: Screen Saver Randomly Turning OFF

I'm having this issue of my screen saver randomly turning off and I see that it's a problem that's been around for quite some time now.

Is there any new information or workarounds on this issue? Are there any edits of the registry that can be done to keep the screen saver on?

Any advice on this is highly appreciated.

Screen Saver Randomly Turning OFF

One factor that you need to consider is a conflict with the power settings. As a workaround, we suggest that you change power plan settings, follow the steps below:

• Search Screen Saver Settings using Cortana.
• Click Change power settings.
• Under Choose or customize a power plan, select Balance (recommended) if it was set on High performance or
  vice versa.
