Windows 10: Screensaver turned off after leaving PC game

This happened to me some time ago but I forgot how to fix it:

The Witcher 3 PC game recently installed new DLC. I know that PC games disable the screen saver/display power off options upon starting so they don't interfere with the game. However, they are supposed to restore those functions when you quit the game.

In this instance, The Witcher 3 does not restore the functions. Not matter how many times I manually try to reset my options, they don't work until I manually reboot the PC.

I thought there were registry tweaks I could perform to change back to my original options but I forgot where they were. I have a ticket open to the game maker, but I would like to manually reset things until they issue a patch (if they ever do).

Anybody remember how to do this?

Thanks.

Monitor doesn't turn off, screensaver doesn't work either

For about a week now, I realized that my monitor won't turn off automatically when I leave the PC idle after the set 10 minutes. I tried to set the screensaver, but It's not working either. I tried everything in the power management section, according to
the settings it should work, beacuse it did before and I haven't changed anything. All drivers are up to date.

Windows 10 Pro build 16299

i5 4590

MSI H97 Gaming 3

16Gb Corsair

MSI GTX 1080 8GB Driver 391.35

If you know what's causing this, please help.

 

Nokia N73 - scrensaver problem

I just bought a Nokia N73 Phone, but when i installed a new screensaver a found a problem: When i make the settings so that the new screensaver appears and i leave the phone, so that the new screensaver appears it appears, but when i unlock the keyboard
and lock it again, the N73 original screensaver appears and the other ss doesnt. it appears if i turn off the phone and turn it on again & then the whole thing starts again. So i`m asking whats the problem and whats the solution.

 

Hello rzn6jw, *Smile

If you like, you might see if the context menu added by the tutorial below may serve as a workaround to be able to quickly enable/disable screen saver before and after paying the game.

Thanks. I'll give it a try and let you know what happens.

 

Sorry for the delay - had some minor surgery.

Tried your suggestion and it worked. Thanks!!!

 

You're most welcome. I'm glad it'll work for you. *Smile
