My Windows 11 Notes

Screen saver not activating

Disable "Allow this device to wake the computer" from Device Manager on the Device Manager > Device Properties > Power Management tab.

To find out if there are devices that can wake the computer, log into PowerShell as admin and run this command:

PS C:\Users\anon> powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

Below is my example until I unchecked wake the computer settings on all devices. When query results in "NONE", then no devices should wake computer.

PS C:\Users\anon> powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
Xbox Gaming Device
HID-compliant mouse
Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller
HID Keyboard Device (001)
HID Keyboard Device (002)

PS C:\Users\anon> powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
