The screen saver on my Windows-based computer is blank.

By default, screen savers are set to blank when you connect to a Windows-based computer using Remote Desktop Connection. This is done to conserve network resources while your Windows-based computer is inactive. This behavior occurs only during a connection. Your screen saver settings on the Windows-based computer are not changed.
