    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.can't get screensaver to fill the screen in Windows 11 :)

  3. Setting Picture Screensaver for Multiple Screens

    Hi Daryan,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    To assist you better, I like to know; are you using any third-party screensaver?

    If yes I suggest you to change the screensaver to Windows default screensavers and check if it helps.

    To set the Screensaver on the extended display, follow the below steps:

    Step 1: Right-click on a blank area of your desktop and select “Personalize.”

    Step 2: Click “Screen Saver” at the bottom-right corner of the window.

    Step 3: Select the desired screen saver from the drop-down menu and indicate a “wait” time in minutes. The screensaver will come on automatically after the computer has been idle for that period of time.

    Step 4: Check the “On resume, display logon screen” for added security, if desired. This feature requires you to enter your password when resuming your Windows session.

    Step 5: Click “Apply” and then “OK.”

    Step 6: Click on the “Display” link at the bottom left.

    Step 7: Click “Adjust Resolution” on the left.

    Step 8: Choose “Extend these displays” from the Multiple Displays drop-down menu if you’d like a single screensaver to travel across both displays. Click “Duplicate these displays” if you want a duplicated screen
    saver to display on each monitor.

    Step 9: Click “OK.”



    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

  4. can't get screensaver to fill the screen in Windows 11

    Windows 11 upgrade screensaver problem

    Where are the results for the dozen-plus steps I gave you to try, and was waiting for results to be posted back so I know what else to suggest?

    This is an interactive process. I give steps to perform, you do each one and then report back results until something works, so I know what to suggest next. If you need help performing any step, just ask back. But please do not skip any steps. We often find out the skipped step is the fix.

    Screensaver is so dated I had to really dig to find those fixes, so to have them completely ignored is very discouraging. Can you go back to the top of the list and work through them now?
