If the screen remains black after the screensaver on your Mac, you are not the only one facing this problem. As we have said many times, beta versions of operating systems bring new features, but they also come with a number of bugs, such as this one.
The latest update of macOS 15.2 Beta, fixed a bug in the previous version that was opening a permission pop-up for Software Update Notification Manager:. This popup no longer appears, but the problem of the black screen when the Mac exits the screensaver remains.

What can you do if the screen remains black after the screensaver on Mac?
As far as I've noticed, this problem only occurs when exiting the screensaver is done with the mouse. The screen remains black and one can only move the mouse on the screen without being able to perform any other command. To get everything back to normal, when the black screen appears, wait until the on Mac restart the screensaver, then press any key.
Another solution is to disable the screen saver until a new update is released that will hopefully fix this bug.
How do you disable the screen saver on Mac?
To completely disable the screen saver on Mac, follow the steps below:
1. Open System Settings.
2. Go to the left sidebar to the screen lock options (Lock Screen).
3. Set "Never" to the first option, "Start screen saver when inactive".
After you make this change, on Mac the screen saver will no longer start.
Hopefully in the next update macOS Sequoia 15.2 Apple to solve this problem.
