My screen saver no longer starts automatically, and the setting that should turn the display off after a period of inactivity also does nothing. The screen stays on indefinitely regardless of the configured timeout. I've checked and adjusted the related settings, but they don't appear to have any effect. What should I troubleshoot next?

First verify that the screen saver is actually enabled and has a nonzero wait time. Also check the display power settings separately, since the screen saver timeout and the turn-off-display timeout may be controlled in different places. If both are configured correctly, look for an application, peripheral, or system setting that may be reporting activity and preventing the computer from becoming idle.
