Windows 10: Screensaver shows as a black screen when using the Preview option, Shows correctly when...

So i'm deploying a Screensaver for our company via GPO on the domain controller, when click test on the screensaver in file explorer, it works completely fine. When I click install, and then preview it, the screensaver is just a black screen.When i deploy it via GPO and check client-side it's just showing the black screen that it's previewing as.Windows is up to date, this worked before i changed the file, but when i revert it to the old file, it's showing as a black preview as well.I don't think the GPO is the problem, i think it's the actual file on the domain controller thats causing the pr

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?
