Possible workaround: Disable screensaver on all user profiles until a fix is issued on January 20, 2021, 6:12 In context: There is no question that Apple released a winner with the new M1 Macs. Despite using the same old physical design, the excellent battery life (in the laptops) and "shockingly" fast M1 chip earned them overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and users alike. As great as the M1 Macs perform, some users have reported a strange bug they are having a hard time explaining. It seems that sometimes the screensaver will override the operation of the computer for no apparent reason. There is also at least one instance of the bug occurring on an Intel MacBook Pro.
