    Screensaver doesn't work with pictures


    I know some people have had issues with the screensaver not working. In my case all the screensavers work, except the one I want -pictures. I have always used pictures as a screensaver with other windows os with no problem.

    What happens is I can see the pictures scrolling in the mini monitor it shows you, but when I hit preview or when it goes into action, the screen goes black. I have tried using different folders in different drives and using different pictures, but still nothing but black.

    Any suggestions?

    :)

    How do you keep a picture for a wallpaper, and then have a screensaver like bubbles work on top of the picture ?

    How do you keep a picture for a wallpaper, and then have a screensaver like bubbles work on top of the picture. I can't seem to get it to work with Windows 10.It worked easily with previous Windows. I usually have a fall scene for the background and use
    a falling leaf for the screensaver. Any answers? Any suggestions?

    WINDOWS 10 SCREENSAVER QUIRK AND QUESTION

    Hello,

    I noticed an odd quirk within Windows 10 screensaver. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or is this

    a flaw within Windows 10 screensaver? I noticed when I chose a picture for my desktop, and I set up the screensaver within personalization, everything worked, but if I changed my mind and changed the picture, the screensaver would turn off to none, which
    means I have to go back to turn on the screensaver every time I change a picture for my desktop. Thank you for your time.

    I know this may be a stupid question but have you ticked the folder the pictures are in .
    Or clicked the pictures you want to use and pressed apply or save

    Any chance wrong resolution ?
    System offers "recommended" settings. Do you use that ?

    Hey that worked! I set it to the recommended settings, which was way too small for my monitor, then set it back to a larger size and the screensaver still works. Thank you!!
