    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.Changing my screensaver :)

    Windows 10 keeps disabling my screensaver on its own

    Windows 10 keeps automatically disabling my screensaver and setting it to "none".

    About once a week, I find that my screensaver that I made with InstantStorm does not activate after five minutes has passed. I then check my screensaver settings and found that my screensaver reverted to "none". I then proceed to change it back to the My Little Pony screensaver that I made—only for Windows 10 to change it back to "none" in a week or so.

    I Googled the problem but nothing relevant came up. Google did not even provide next word suggestions after 'Windows 10 keeps disabling my' "screensaver was NOT even in the drop down list and when I typed 'screensaver' anyway, all I got was results pertaining to Windows disabling the screen, NOT the screensaver.

    This is on a Dell Optiplex 790 tower

    Does anybody know what the problem could be?

    Windows 10 keeps changing my screensaver

    Now I have very bad feeling about competence of MS support in this forum... Since November 2016 there were no any useful suggestions from them.
