Screen Saver activate on Login Screen Window

[sduttonusa]

Up until Big Sur, I've been having a Screen Saver kick in after 5 minutes at my Login Screen Window using these two Terminal commands:


To set the Time (300 seconds):

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver loginWindowIdleTime 300


To set the Screen Saver:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver loginWindowModulePath "/System/Library/Screen Savers/Flurry.saver"


This doesn't seem to be working under Big Sur. Anyone know of a fix?

If you believe the specs, nothing has changed for Big Sur.
I tried your commands, it did write something in com.apple.screensaver, but to no effect too (latest Big Sur).
No idea why

For what it's worth, we are having the same phenomenon with our Lab Macs that we've taken to BS, and those have the screen saver settings forced upon them by an MDM.

Screen saver settings are still respected after a user logs in, but the login window just glows bright forever.
