Operating Systems

Server: Ubuntu Linux

Client: Windows 10

it seems that barrierc.exe somehow interferes with the power save function of my screen.
I can't get my client screen to go off since I installed barrier 2.3.3. Windows system sleep diagnostics says this :-)

Any luck with 2.3.2? Might be a regression.

Also seeing this
Server: windows 10
Client : windows 10

Stopping the connection on both allows them to sleep. Haven't worked through all the combinations of running and stopped.

That's why I'm using "black" screensavers ;) at least a tempfix.

The server has a "Synchronize screen savers" option, have you trying turning it off?

This solved my same issue with barrier 2.3.4 (Client+Server are Win 10 Pro).
