It seems that some users of their new Mac computers with Apple M1 processor are experiencing problems related to the system screensaver , a bug that consists in that a screensaver, which may or may not be the one we have configured, even if we do not have one configured at any time, interrupts what we are doing.

This would not be an extremely serious problem in the case of a normally activated screensaver, which would disappear with the simple movement of the mouse or with a press of a key , but in this case, as we read in The Verge, it is necessary to close the Mac screen and reopen it. This is possible if we have a MacBook, of course, because users who have a Mac Mini do not have a lid to close for it.

For now the origin of this problem is unknown, but it is known that in other social networks, as well as in Apple’s own support forums, are receiving complaints about it, something that the company has not yet commented on .

Hopefully an update to macOS Big Sur fixes this problem , as until now it had not manifested itself prominently enough to reach the world’s attention .
