    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 on Windows desktop, where are the photos taken ? :)

    Screensaver slideshow does not display correctly whith dual monitors set to "extend desktop"

    The images will be repositioned in the Windows Screensaver based on the aspect ratios. Also, if the pictures are taken as portrait and not Landscape they will never fill the entire screen of the screensaver and the result would be a visible display offset.

    We suggest that you check the desktop resolution to correct this, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Right click in an open area on your desktop, select Display Setings.
    • Under Display, click on
      Advanced display settings.
    • Try to change the resolution and click on
      Apply
      and on Keep changes.

    We also suggest that you check if this issue also occurs using a different user account.

    Kindly get back to us so we can assist you further.

  4. Screensaver on Windows desktop, where are the photos taken ?

    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.
