Question for other MacBook Pro owners (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I’ve had my MacBook Pro a few years now. It’s an M1 with 16gb ram. It’s been acting weird when it comes to the screensaver activating. As in, it never comes on. I’ve adjusted my settings, and it still won’t work. The only thing that makes the screensaver act normal is a reboot, but it’ll only work once.

Anyone have any idea?

A lot of Windows users moving to macOS leave apps running due to just clicking on the red button to close the window.

Check to make sure you don't have an app running that is keeping the computer active, even in the background.

e.g. some data syncing apps, navigation device connections, wake-on-lan enabled with an active network-reliant app running

Use Activity Monitor in the /applications/utilities folder to explore all the stuff running.

Interesting! Thank you, I will check that.

There is also this app, if you prefer to make clicking on the red x file quit a program: http://carsten-mielke.com/redquits.html
