Wow classic - screensaver while borderless window

hey all
i got myself an oled monitor recently and to protect it i activated the screensaver which only turns the monitor black.
ez pz so far, unfortunately the screensaver also activated while in wow classic. for example, i am sticking to my wife while travelling or checking my phone while in og.
is there any way to prevent this? why is this happening in the first place?

thank you <3

it is unclear from the description where did you enable it… seems like that is a monitor-provided screensaver function and you enabled in the on-screen menu of the monitor?

such types of monitor-based screensavers are usually just a timer / sleep countdown function, to turn off the monitor after a defined amount of time - they will ignore any activity on the displayed image or mouse/keyboard activity.

hey Apeiron,
you are absolutely right, my descriptions lacks info.
i am talking about the standard, built-in screensaver in windows 11. i set it to “emtpy” so its just black.
