My MacBook screen goes dark ~ 60 seconds. Where can I find the settings to change that? I've searched the web and answers indicate going into settings, but on High Sierra, this doesn't seem correct.

This is what I get when I click on system prefs:

System Preferences > Energy Saver.

It hasn’t changed in decades. It’s still there in High Sierra.

I suppose it could also be

System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver > Start after: [ XX Minutes ].

Updated: Your new screenshot shows that System Preferences is opening to show the iCloud pref pane only. You need to click the button that looks like a grid of dots to get back to the main view where you can select pref panes from a grid of icons.

  • I've tried that, but I don't get those option. Please see the edit to my question. I've added a screenshot of what I get when I click System Preferences. Mar 16, 2018 at 15:00
  • @MartinMuldoon I’ve updated my Answer to help you get back to the main screen of System Preferences.

  • @MartinMuldoon Glad I could help. Honestly it’s weird that it got stuck on one pref pane quitting the app and re-launching it should have returned you to the main icon grid view as well. 🤷‍♂️

  • What's even stranger based on what you just said, is that I have to Macbooks and both had the issue. Cheers! Mar 16, 2018 at 15:19
