    How to keep screen active while transparent screensaver is ON?


    A lot of the work I do involves watching processes go from 0% to 100%. I need to keep screens ON and active to monitor the progress and maybe make a few clicks here and there, but at the same time I'd like to protect my monitors/TVs.

    Is there any way to achieve this? For example, enabling the 'Bubbles' screensaver (transparent mode) and working at the same time?

    I primarily use Win10x64 (2004) but a solution that also works for Win7 would be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    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 to keep screen active while transparent screensaver is ON? :)
