Slide the card or tool of your choosing under each corner cautiously, taking care not to scratch the phone’s screen. Step Three: Use the Corner Openings to Remove It Fully Alternatively, you could use a guitar pick or a toothpick in a pinch. Of course, a used-up gift card works well, too. For this step, it’s best to use an older credit card or something you don’t mind getting messy with adhesive. Now, take the credit card and try sliding it under each corner of the screen protector. Step Two: Pry Up the Corners of the Screen Protector Give it a solid 15 seconds to loosen and soften the adhesive. After all, you will need to get somewhat close enough to soften the glue beneath. Be sure to move the hair dryer back and forth and avoid focusing on one area and creating hot spots that can cause screen damage. Turn the hair dryer on its lowest heat setting and heat the screen protector to loosen the glue properly. Now, on to the step-by-step instructions. Once your Mac awakens, you should be able to access your computer as you normally would.Now that you have your tools, create a clean workspace where you will remove the screen protector. Otherwise, memorise this key combination - Command + Option + Power Button - and use that to sleep your system if you have an unresponsive screensaver.
You can also try installing the macOS 11.2 Big Sur beta, which reportedly fixes the problem for good.
Then, when this screensaver bug occurs, simply mouse to the corner, let the screen sleep for a few seconds, and then move the mouse again to wake it up. The solution I have found to work every time is to set a “hot corner” of the screen to put the display to sleep. Still, it’s worth a shot if you want to try a quick and easy fix first.Īnother ingenious solution comes from this MacRumors commenter: I’m hesitant to recommend that as my first troubleshooting technique, as System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options lets you remove the Fast User Switching menu from your Menu Bar, but I don’t believe that disables it. You can also try “disabling” Fast User Switching.
That should prevent the issue from affecting your Mac.
