    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.
