Optimize Your Workstation Energy Saver Settings

If your workstation energy saver settings are not optimized, you may get kicked out of Tops often, causing you to lose work. Here's how to make the most of your settings:

First, find the macOS of your workstation. To find this, go to Apple Menu > About This Mac.

If you are on macOS 12.x.x or older, follow these instructions:

1. Navigate to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Energy Saver.
2. Under the Power heading, set "Turn display off after..." to your desired time. The default setting for new workstations is only a few minutes.

If you are on macOS 13.x.x or newer, follow these instructions:

1. Navigate to Apple Menu > System Settings > Lock Screen.
2. Set "Start Screen Saver when inactive" to your desired time.
3. If you have a laptop, set "Turn display off on battery when inactive" to your desired time.
4. If you have a desktop, set "Turn display off on power adapter when inactive" to your desired time.
