I have steam installed but I don't use it and the issue predates it. I couldn't even tell you for sure when this started but it's been going on for a while.

I had this happen again this afternoon. I ran the command and nothing. I changed the timeout back to 1 minute and it worked. It was still working after 5 minutes but I'm getting tired of having to do that. Do you know what I can do to resolve this rather than change the timeout? That isn't a fix but a work around.
You could run the clean boot, as I suggested earlier. I don't know what's in your Startup folder.
I think that it's releated to Firefox. The last time this happened I had been using Firefox. Have you even heard of that? Perhaps a ad-on gone haywire?
I don't use a screen saver so I can't verify if FireFox is causing the problem. However, I did find a blog where it mentions that if you're watching a video or anything similar in FireFox and using full screen mode, it can disable a screen saver. However, that was supposedly fixed. Maybe I'll try a screen saver and see if I can reproduce the issue but don't expect quick turnaround.
However, you said the problem occurred right after starting up hence the suggested clean boot.
I tried both the Photos and Aurora screen savers and messed around extensively in Firefox a couple of times but it had no effect.
SAASPASS is security/login related so I can't disable that. Also the issue predates installing that. That only leave the AMD as a non-M$ service that starts automatically. Vmware, iTunes, Tweak, and steam are all manual or disabled.
You just don't want to run a clean boot, do you?
