    screen saver

    I unhooked my SideWinder Precision Pro Joystick from the computer and then behold, the screensaver worked. As the mentioned Joystick is a Microsoft product, surely if the joystick had no effect on the running of the screensaver in Windows 7, the same
    joystick should not have effected the running of the screensaver in Windows 10??

    Windows 10 Screensaver not working

    I set my screensaver for 1 minute and unplugged one USB device at a time (every minute) until the screensaver started working. Turns out my
    Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick is the culprit. As soon as this joystick is disconnected my screensaver works.
