If I turn into my Windows 11 computer through Remote Desktop, the screen saver never turns on when it's time to come back in from work. Sometimes it just disables it even though I have turned it on in the settings menu. Also, some icons get squashed across one row horizontally, which is annoying. At other times, the background color becomes black. Any tips on what might be causing this? Thanks for any answers.

Did you tell your boss' tech crew about the issues?
