M<\/span>Microsoft has modified or expanded the screensaver, and Citrix has also disabled the screensaver and power-saving features by default on Windows client operating systems. As a result, you may have trouble enabling the screensaver as usual.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Here are two things to fix it<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

For all client operating systems, such as Windows 7, 8, or Windows 10, that are used as a VDA in a Citrix XenDesktop environment, the following registry value must be set<\/p>\n

HKLM\\Software\\Citrix\\Graphics<\/code>
SetDisplayRequiredMode REG_DWORD = 0x00000000<\/code><\/p>\n

In some cases, the screensaver may not activate on server operating systems. To resolve this, configure the following Group Policy setting.<\/p>\n

Computer Configuration\\Windows Settings\\Security Settings\\Local Policies\\Security Options<\/code>
Interactive logon: Machine inactivity limit<\/code><\/p>\n
