Hey everyone, do you know how to keep the Windows screen saver active without it turning on when games or movies play in full-screen? I have three PCs with LG OLED screens and want to reduce burn-in risk. I usually set a short delay for the screen saver, but it still activates during gameplay or while watching videos. Let me know your thoughts! Cheers, C

This situation is unusual for me, so I'm unsure what's going on. When I watch a fullscreen video in Firefox or Edge, or play a game in exclusive fullscreen mode, the screen saver doesn't activate. But with windowed videos or non-exclusive fullscreen/gameplay, it does. It's a significant problem for FS2020, especially since many games display straight lines without interaction and it triggers. That game can't run in exclusive fullscreen.

Thanks for the update. I’ll try using full-screen exclusive mode to check if it resolves the issue. Just don’t forget about those old Windows 95/98 problems! Cheers
