  1. Background and/or screensaver


    What happened to the feature where the screen saver was "live" and would automatically change and based on whether you liked it or not it would continue changing along a similar theme? I seem to have lost that feature and now it's the standard choice of about 5 options for a background/screensaver.

    :)

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

    • Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
    • Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
    • Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
    • Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.Background and/or screensaver :)

  3. How to change the screensaver for Windows 10

    Hi

    Thanks for this comment. Your suggestion concerns the image(s) displayed as background. I already do this for the background.

    My question did not concern the background but rather the screen saver. I can send the screensaver to an (in my computer) image directory containing any number of files (say 100). The screensaver picks only a limited number (I haven't counted, but it's
    about 20). The screen saver stays with that set, displaying them in the same order on each repetition through the images. My question is whether it is possible to dislodge the built in screensaver from fixating on the same small set of images and displaying
    them in the same order? Of course, the image set will change if I change image source directories, but the problem repeats if I do (though with a new set of 20ish images from the new directory).

    Any work-arounds?

    Thanks

    Howard

    Background and/or screensaver

    Screensavers Bubbles - background is faulty

    On normal boot screensaver Bubbles runs on background of system settings color.

    If the screensaver is run after wake up from sleep it runs on black background.

    How can it be soluted?

    Where in registry I can found keys related to screensaver settings? Especially the one to
    set background to desktop.
