    screensaver keeps changing to the same photo


    hi my screensaver automatically keeps changing back to the same photo. I've tried changing it multiple times but after about 2 minutes it keeps reverting back to the one photo. I've deleted the photo but it must be on my computer somewhere else, I've updated widows, and tried everything i could find on the internet but nothing is working!

    :)

  2. Windows 10 keeps disabling my screensaver on its own

    Windows 10 keeps automatically disabling my screensaver and setting it to "none".

    About once a week, I find that my screensaver that I made with InstantStorm does not activate after five minutes has passed. I then check my screensaver settings and found that my screensaver reverted to "none". I then proceed to change it back to the My Little Pony screensaver that I made—only for Windows 10 to change it back to "none" in a week or so.

    I Googled the problem but nothing relevant came up. Google did not even provide next word suggestions after 'Windows 10 keeps disabling my' "screensaver was NOT even in the drop down list and when I typed 'screensaver' anyway, all I got was results pertaining to Windows disabling the screen, NOT the screensaver.

    This is on a Dell Optiplex 790 tower

    Does anybody know what the problem could be?

  3. Photo Gallery as screensaver.

    This problem arose after installing 'Creator update', three days ago, on my Win10 pro with 16Gb Ram.

    Everything works as before with one exception. I was using Photo Gallery as screensaver. After the update, Photo gallery screensaver starts and works as it should. But Mouse movement or Keyboard input has no effect in stopping screensaver and going back
    to desktop. Using, ctrl-alt-del combination is the only way to get back to desktop.

    I changed screensaver to other options, like Bubbles, 3D writing and all the others available screensavers. Mouse and Keyboard wakes up the system and Desktop pops up in all other screensavers. Only when using Photo Gallery, movement of Mouse or Keyboard
    produces no effect.

    There are no other peripherals on my system.

    Thanks for any help and suggestions.

    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.screensaver keeps changing to the same photo :)
