Hi all,

any update on this? I’m also trying to switch off the screen svaer for a screen which should run in kiosk mode but after 10-20min it switches off/ saves energy. I have disabled the power save function on the screen and assigned our old 2008R2 GPO to the machine without any efforts. GPResult /R does not show the the GPO I have assigned which tells me it’s not compatible may be.

If somebody has an idea on this please let me know.

Thanks
Torsten

Just found a possible solution. Testing it…

Step 1: Open Registry Editor. To do so, type Regedit in Start menu or taskbar search box and then press Enter key. Registry Editor can also be launched by typing Regedit in Run command box and pressing Enter key.

Step 2: In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Step 3: On the right-side, look for the entry named ScreenSaveActive, double-click on it, and set the value to 1 (one) to enable screen saver and make it 0 (zero) to disable.

Note that if the ScreenSaveActive string value doesn’t exist, right-click on the empty area, click New, click String Value and name it ScreenSaveActive.
