  1. Running 5 monitors, screen saver only works on 3 of them


    Two year old Dell XPS tower system running 10, this just started after Jan updates. 3 monitors on AMD card have screen saver working fine, the 2 monitors on the Intel card have saver not working. I've tried the remove/update driver solution to no avail. No matter what I do, I can't get the screensaver to kick in.


    I have a shortcut that I use to start the screensaver. This is kind of a big deal because I have sensitive information on my screens. Right now, i have to physically shut the two monitors off when people come into my office. Suboptimal, to say least.


    I am at a total loss here. If anyone can help, I would be thankful.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 3 Monitors Screen saver

    I have a laptop with 2 monitors connected. Screen saver only displays on monitor #3. How do I get it to display on the main screen (my laptop) or how do I get it to display on all 3 screens?

  4. Running 5 monitors, screen saver only works on 3 of them

    Screen Saver/Desktop/Screen Saver

    I have a screen saver that I have used with Microsoft 1995,Microsoft XP, Microsoft Vista, M.S. 7, M.S. 8 and Windows 10 versions of O.S. without ever having a glitch or any other problem until my computer accepted upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1703.
    I can run the Screen Saver but I have to enter CTL/ALT/Delete and then CANCEL the screen that comes up after that. Of the list of Screen Savers listed with Ver 1703 only 3 will work with moving the mouse or striking a key on the keyboard. Instead of that
    version being and upgrade it is a step backward. That is not the only thing I don't like about Ver.1703. I tell my friends to not download that can of worms.
