Windows 10: Arrow back/forward in Screen Saver not working!

I just got a Windows 11 machine and setup my screen saver to show my pictures. We always used the back and forward keys to go backwards or forwards to see photos. My computer and screen are in the livingroom of my house and we used to enjoy revisiting the photos.Now the computer wakes up and goes to the login screen. This is not what I want it to do. How do I reset this so I can see the pictures and share them with others? This is an improvement that we DID NOT want.Lorri

Win10 photos screen saver not working

Hi. Since a time back, my photos screen saver does not work anymore.

The preview works fine enough, but no screen saver ever starts after the time I set.

I have NUCi3BEH with Win10 Pro 20H2 with all drivers updated, all Store updates and all Windows updates.

I've tried some suggested fixes found by Google, but nothing helps.

It seems it's Windows screen savers in general that does not work, not only Photos.

Any suggestions please?
