My Kodi doesn't run the screensaver or go to sleep any more. it used to work fine but now it just sits there burning my screen all night, even if I select preview screensaver it immediately closes the preview. I tried another account on the same PC and it is the same, this account has only started kodi a very few times and has no plugins installed, the logs are from that test testing the screensaver (not waiting for it to kick in) and done via remote desktop, but it has the same symptoms as the real local user version

if Kodi is not focased the screensaver works

Are you also running a windows screen blanker at the same time?

if Kodi is not focused the screensaver works

Please explain what screensaver works here?
