During those older Windows versions, you could set up a tool that activated the screensaver when the mouse hovered in the top-right corner. In Windows 10 and 11, there isn’t a built-in feature for this exact trigger, but you can achieve it using third-party apps or by adjusting sleep settings manually.

To hide the desktop and not display the screen saver, press Windows key plus L. This will quickly lock the screen without showing the desktop or the screen saver.

Initially I doubted it would function. However, I realized it includes a system tray icon for setup. It would be helpful if moving the cursor to a corner could also put the monitor to sleep. While triggering the screensaver or sleep mode is acceptable, I find it useful to be able to activate these features without manual button presses. Sometimes I know I'll leave my room and don't want to interact with the monitor controls. With many browser tabs open, something seems to block the screensaver or timeout functions.

hot spots... switching from Mac to Windows on my Mac just showed me how much Windows feels like a Mac. What's going on with Bill blocking our scrolling direction? This is so weird! I had to type everything in PowerShell!
