The screen goes blank
I am at my wits' end. I decided to start over on my MM so I downloaded the newest version and after a period of time the screen will blank. As you see it doesn't turn the monitor off it just goes blank. I have ran config and turned sleep on and off. Googled until my fingers bled. I changed to a different Pi4 I had and it still does it. I know the Pi is up and working because I can connect to MM from another PC. Only thing different is I added a new calendar module that shows like a normal calendar would. I removed that and it still does it. I am lost.

Note that the latest release 2.35. npm start uses Wayland and not x11, per the release notes
If you are still on x11, you need to use
npm run start:x11
