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.
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.
