I have 4 computers in an internet cafe running current Q4OS. The screensavers are set to come on after 5 minutes and the option is set to just "Blank" screen and the "Require password to stop" is unticked. Unfortunately they do not come on - at least they don't come on when the computers are started in the morning. If I go in and adjust the settings and resave they will then start. At first I thought it was because of the "Hide active windows from saver" being ticked, but unticking does not resolve. This behavoiur is the same in 2 other computers I have.
Do you have any suggestions?

We will check the issue and let findings here a bit later.
However, we recomend to use DPMS hardware blanking instead of blanking by screensaver, it will save your monitor and power as a bonus. Go to:
Control Panel -> Peripherals -> Display -> Power Control -> Enable Display power management -> set 'Standby' or 'Suspend after' to the desired value.

We can confirm the issue, will be added to our buglist.
