Should I turn off the screensaver while running a project?

Hello
I am currently using StudioX 2022.4.6.

I have been running a web scraping project for a few hours while debugging. During the debugging process, when the screensaver is ON, it seems that when I turn the screensaver OFF, the project recovers from a frozen state and gradually starts to work again.
Should I keep the screensaver OFF while the project is running?

Screensaver does not affect your automation run or debug. When when the automation is running for longer duration and your cursor or keyboard is idle for long time then your screen will lock or screensaver will start, in that case your debug/run may pause if it’s interacting with Ui. Even if you turn off screen saver, your screen will get locked after sometime and Ui Automation will pause.

So, to avoid this, you can move your cursor periodically or increase the lock screen setting time.
