Windows 10: Windows 11 Screen Saver activates while playing games/watching videos

Hi!I have a new OLED TV as my PC monitor, so using a black screen saver is a MUST for me. So do not suggest me "turning of screen saver".I have a problem with it working. Sometimes it does not activate when it shouldn't, but sometimes it does. While playing a game and watching a cutscene or just watching a youtube video, screen saver activates.How can I fix this issue?Thanks in advance.

:)

 

Cant watch video while gaming


Hey all , yes i am having this exact same issue with windows 10, i play fishing planet on steam, and i like to watch my show while im playing.. but the difference is, it doesnt matter if i am streaming or not, i am just simply watching a .mkv file , video file, and while playing my game the video slows , and skips and is unwatchable.. but while the game is running, if i Alt+Tab to the video, and have my mouse on the video, or using the active screen , while the game is still running the video runs fine... and i alsoi tried changing the video players priority to high, no difference, and like he said my computer can more than handle playing a game and also playing a video at the same time...it doesnt do it with all games, just my fishing game..
