Create Cloud prevents Win11 screen saver from activating.

You've managed to mess it up again Adobe. If I allow creative cloud to load and run in the system tray, it will prevent my Windows 11 screen saver from activating after 3 mins of inactivity ... this is a big deal for OLED monitor users (i.e. most professionals).

When exit CC (no longer running in my systray), my screen saver activates correctly after 3 mins of inactivity. So CC is clearly doing something that prevents screen saver activation ... what sort of behind the users back tasks are you running Adobe?

if @Tarun Saini's suggestion fails, or you want a longer term solution to prevent the adobe cc app from interfering with your monitor sleeping, use the command line

powercfg /requestsoverride process "creative cloud.exe" display system

(solution supplied by @tsmith35x)

you can also exit the cc app (click upper left hamburger menu > file > exit cc app)

Hi @Rob Ainscough , @26196012

I hope you're doing well. Could you please open the Creative Cloud Desktop Application and click on the four buttons which are on the right-hand side of the app (Fonts, Notifications, Cloud and profile icon) & check if that helps?

You can also check this community link and try the steps mentioned in it:- https://community.adobe.com/t5/creative-cloud-services-discussions/creative-cloud-desktop-preventing...

Let us know if that helps.
