Screensaver and USB

[liuk000]

Hi all,

I'm experiencing some issue with my Mac mini, here is the process:

1) I am running 10.14.6 (18G95)
2) I set the screensaver (I choose "Message")
3) I set password protection to disable screensaver Security/Privacy/Require password "Immediately"
4) I start the screensaver (and of course it can only be disabled by password)
5) I plug a USB (formatted in MS-DOS or Apple MacOS Journaled)
6) I enter the password of the screensaver and access the Desktop
7) I open Finder and there is not any attached USB

So, it looks like the USB is not detected while screensaver is on...
Is this an expected behaviour?
Because I need the USB to be recognised also when the screensaver is on...

Thanks!

The USB will be seen, if it is seen before the screensaver is on. However, you will need to unlock your user account, in order to access anything.
