  1. Screen saver won't work after installing 20H2


    A few weeks ago I installed 20H2 and all was well except the screen saver won't work. I searched lots of support issues but none of them fixed the problem. I reverted back to just before the 20H2 build and the screen saver works again. I decided to totally wipe my machine and try again. I formatted the hard drive and installed 64bit Windows 10. The screen saver worked fine. I then did the various updates to get it current except 20H2 and the screen saver still works. I have not installed any of my applications. I then installed 20H2 and now my screen saver no longer works. I'm getting no errors in the device manager and I have no oddball hardware installed.


    This is VERY frustrating as I can't find any errors anywhere but my screen saver doesn't work. I'm sure if I revert back to just before installing 20H2 the screen saver will work again.


    Any ideas or suggestions? Frankly i'm getting tired of sites that will fix the problem if I just buy their tool first!


    I'd really appreciate some guidance!
