Unfortunately, programmatically scrolling the screen won't stop the screen saver from appearing.

Is the primary request here to stop the screen saver from appearing during say all or to scroll the screen during say all? If the former, the summary should be changed accordingly. If the latter, NVDA should already scroll the screen in most places, except perhaps in browse mode (e.g. on the web). I assume you're referring to web documents specifically?

I am talking about disabling the screen saver but I wasn't sure how best to articulate the matter and yes, I am referring to web documents in particular.
Changes:
Changed title from "Scroll screen while NVDA is reading" to "disable screen saver while NVDA is reading longer pages"

@jcsteh Since cardsfan22 has answered your initial questions in #1617 (comment), could you please triage this ticket?

This will impact performance since the screen has to scroll in web documents which can cause lags. Especially in webpages with dynamic web content.

Screen safer can be disabled in Windows, in most cases in energy settings. If someone implements this function though, this needs thorough testing on different systems.

But I would prefer to disable screen safer in Windows rather than having performance issues on complex websites.

@LeonarddeR I recall that you submited a PR to solve something like this, I think it was related to braille but maybe it fixed also this issue. Can you confirm?

Closing this in favor of #14036 which is newer and requests the same feature.
