It's just the screen saver one :(

It has just disabled itself again, and bizarrely the registry settings are the same, exactly the same. There is something else going on in the background that bypasses everything, but I can't figure out how does it work.

Basically the power recommendations page keeps disabling my screen saver. I would notice it not starting, go to settings, the "disable screen saver" has green checkmark, then I got to screen saver settings, those are not changed at all, I still see the same screen saver and timeout there, but...

I wasn't talking about hiding anything. I was talking about completely disabling the functionality, because the OS doing something without my consent and repeatedly reverting a setting I set is completely wrong.

I know OLED monitors have some anti burn in features, but LCD ones, I am not sure.

What? :o People don't use a screen saver? What about burn in?

I guess. I wonder if I am the only person for who screen saver settings are repeatedly changed without connsent by this recommendations BS? No matter what I set it gets disabled within a few hours.

I wonder whether you can DISABLE the energy recommendations though. The entire functionality is horrible.

I tried that and it didn't do anything, Macrium 7 still wouldn't work unless I flat out disabled that memory protection feature :(

That appears to be neither opensource nor free (the free version has hardly any features and can't even copy a partition it seems).

Uh, what is that? Live CD image I have to boot? I just need a Windows program that runs at startup and creates disk/file+folder backup image on a local server. This doesn't seem to be that. Or am I missing anything?

So Microsoft managed to kill older Macrium Reflect versions driver, basically killing perfectly working software I bought, so I really do need to find a replacement now. I am almost sure I will go with O&O DiskImage, but before I go ahead with that, just in case, is anyone aware of anything...

Nevermind I guess.

Oh. Thanks. What a mess this OS is...

This doesn't affect power mode set in the new settings. Why does the stupid system have TWO different settings for power plan anyway? And what actually takes precedence, and how do I change what's in the "newer" place via command line?
