So while using safari on buy MacBook Pro 13" 2017 I been having a weird issue with the screen saver. It seems to only happen when I am using safari. The screen saver will turn on at the time I have set it to even though I am moving the mouse and using keyboard. I do have my MacBook plugged into a monitor and I am using an external keyboard and mouse. Not sure if anyone has any ideas or if it's just a glitch.

What version of MacOS Catalina are you running?

Boot into Recovery Mode, download and install the latest macOS Catalina. This won't erase any user data, only refresh all the OS system files.

^^^^Go into "About This Mac" Click on "Version 10.15.5" and you'll see the version.

^^^^And you felt compelled to post, when that was precisely what I was asking? Again - Huh ❓
