Windows 10: Screensaver files

I had a ransomware attack!!! Lost many files before turning it off. Afterwards, just pulled the drives and setup windows 10 on a new drive. When I logged in, my screensaver was displaying those same files, but of course, not from my current computer/hardrive. Anyone know where these are located??? Could not find them in Onedrive.

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.

 

Can't Remove Screensavers

Well since there is no way to uninstall the two screensavers I made it was suggested I uninstall the program. Unfortunately, even after uninstalling Axialis Screensaver, the screensavers I made are still listed. Not a big deal just wonder where the data is hiding? Normally they should of been created in the system32 folder but in searching none where found. *Mad
