That's strange.


Let's try some other steps

If you have an M1 Mac, restart holding Shift to enter Safe Mode. Once loaded, restart normally and check again.


If you have an Intel Mac, do this

Also boot in Safe Mode as I said before.

Check the situation again.


You can also test in another user. Go System Preferences > Users and Groups and add a new admin user.

Do not install anything there, just check if the screen saver behaves normally.
