  1. How can you get windows 11 Photo screensaver to use both screens?


    I've read a lot of threads on this issue and have found no explanation why in windows 10 I could set my screensaver to Photo Slideshow and it would alternate photos on both screens. I cannot get this to work in any manner in Windows 11. I'm finding a lot of things I can no longer do in Windows 11, why is this?

    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.How can you get windows 11 Photo screensaver to use both screens? :)

    Looking for a screen saver with beautiful photos or designs

    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a screensaver that will work with my ultra wide monitor (3440x1440). More specifically, a screensaver that comes with beautiful landscape photos and/or artistic designs. I'd like something that can perform like a slideshow.

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Cheers,

    grecinos

    Screensaver

    Hi Brenda,

    If the screensavers you want to use are only available in the Webshots program, then the program should be reloaded or reinstalled (if it's uninstalled) in order to use it as those screensavers or photos are not saved on your computer.

    If you don't want to use the generic screensavers available in the Screen Saver Settings, you may use your own photos as screensavers. Just make sure to put all the photos in your Picture folder. To enable it, follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Personalization > Lock screen > Screen saver settings.
    2. Click the dropdown under screen saver and set it to Photos.
    3. Click the Settings option beside it and select the Picture
      folder where the photos are saved.
    4. Click Apply, then OK.

    Please let me know if you need further assistance. I'm here to help.

    Regards.
