Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to prevent the Windows screen saver from activating while playing games. It's getting really frustrating for both of us—especially since we're both on LG OLED TVs with HDR enabled. My girlfriend is playing Ghostwire Tokyo and I'm on Cyberpunk. We often get stuck when long cutscenes play without any button presses, and the screen saver kicks in. The issue seems to vary by game, and sometimes even a small mistake causes it to freeze or go blank. I've set aggressive levels on both devices, but it still happens. I'm worried about the temperamental AVR setup in our living room PC, which can drop video unexpectedly. Any tips or workarounds would be super helpful!

Because the games aren’t loading in full screen mode, turn it on if available. You noted a few exceptions exist, but I couldn’t find a solution.

You can find a setting in the Nvidia Control Panel to apply changes across all devices.

It seems you're wondering if there might be something interesting inside.
Not sure, but it could definitely hold something worth looking at.
