Windows 10: After the screen saver, my PC disconnects from the wifi, monitor and speakers

After I stop the screen saver or sometimes when I turn on the PC, either of the following happens:1. The wifi option doesn't show on my laptop. It's not just turned off, but the button to connect to the wifi is missing. It's like my laptop doesn't know it has a wifi capability.2. Sometimes the monitor stays black, even after I exit the screen saver. It's like the PC doesn't detect that I'm connected to the monitor.3. My laptop is connected to headphones or sometimes the headphones. When I exit the screen saver, many times the sound switches from the speakers to the laptop's built in speakers.H

Screen saver over dual monitors in windows 10

Hi,

One of the possible reasons why the screen saver shows only on one of your monitors is that you have an outdated graphics card. Please refer to this

link for the steps on how you can update drivers in your Windows 10 PC. This link will also provide you the steps on how to reinstall drivers.

You can try these steps if updating your graphics driver doesn't work:

• Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
• Type Display settings and click it.
• The Customize your display window will appear. Under the Multiple displays option, choose
  Extend these displays.
• Click Apply.
• Check if both monitors now will show the screen saver.

Post here the result for us to assist you further.

Regards.

 

Screen saver for dual monitors

Well, problem solved - sort off! I have got it working via the Google Photos Screensaver. Different images appearing on the two monitors. The difficulty now is that the image is the correct size on the main monitor (3840 x 2160) but oversized on the secondary monitor (1920 x 1200). While images scale properly when displayed as desktop backgrounds, they don't on the smaller screen in screen saver mode.
But that's a problem for another thread I think!

In the meantime I'l have a look at your suggestion Barman.

Thank you both
