      When I go to the MM folder and type

      npm stop
      

      I got an errors:

      npm ERR! missing script: stop
      
      npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
      nom ERR!            /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2018-07-26T14_14_20_020Z-debug.log
      
      but I can´t open the folder because there is no folder like this.
      So I can´t stop it?!
      
      I can´t stop the npm aswell via remote desktop from Windows...
      
      I´m confused

          It worked with

          pm2 stop MagicMirror
          

          after

          npm start dev
          

          there are some errors… but they appeared after I connected via remote desktop
          (see picture)!

                  On the screen the the screensaver is deactivated.

                  Is there an option on the pi?

                    what you can still try

                    open

                    sudo nano /boot/config.txt
                    

                    and add

                    # uncomment to put the monitor into power saving mode (DPMS)
                    hdmi_blanking=1

                      After I edit the code as you described above, the screen shows “no signal” after 10 to 15 minutes.

                        @killing-joke - When the screen does its fade-to-black thing, what happens if you hook up a mouse or keyboard to the pi and wiggle it? Does everything come back?

                        In my experience, the best way to keep the screen from going black is to install XScreenSaver and set it to never run a screensaver.
