Windows 10: Multiple Screen Savers on 2 Monitors

I have a 2 monitor setup all I would like is without third party tools to be able to use the inbuilt windows utilities to display a basic screen saver on both my screen, I have one OLED monitor and leaving windows open on it can damage it read Image retention / Burnin This is a basic Windows feature that has been in at least w95 if not before and I cannot get a screen saver to replicate on both screens, The option here is missing the screensaver tab > display settings > menu as as soon as you select any other monitor that Monitor 1 the option the "display screen saver on this monitor"

Screen saver over dual monitors in windows 10

Hi,

One of the possible reasons why the screen saver shows only on one of your monitors is that you have an outdated graphics card. Please refer to this

link for the steps on how you can update drivers in your Windows 10 PC. This link will also provide you the steps on how to reinstall drivers.

You can try these steps if updating your graphics driver doesn't work:

• Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
• Type Display settings and click it.
• The Customize your display window will appear. Under the Multiple displays option, choose
  Extend these displays.
• Click Apply.
• Check if both monitors now will show the screen saver.

Post here the result for us to assist you further.

Regards.

 

Screen saver for dual monitors

Well, problem solved - sort off! I have got it working via the Google Photos Screensaver. Different images appearing on the two monitors. The difficulty now is that the image is the correct size on the main monitor (3840 x 2160) but oversized on the secondary monitor (1920 x 1200). While images scale properly when displayed as desktop backgrounds, they don't on the smaller screen in screen saver mode.
But that's a problem for another thread I think!

In the meantime I'l have a look at your suggestion Barman.

Thank you both
