    Slideshow Screensaver Error


    Hello,So I have a Dell Desktop Main PC; HP Desktop my former PC now connected to a Smart TV and a Dell Laptop I use primarily to stream spotify music.. All three are running Windows 10 with full updates. All three power up automatically at 9am and are on all day until I go to bed. They all use the Windows Screensaver - Photo when idling.The photos that the screensaver uses are stored on a networked storage drive NSD. which I’ve mapped to drive letter Z:\ on each individual computer. This setup has worked for years.Now, when the computers go idle, the screensaver launches with each comp

    Screensaver stops working - error preventing slideshow from playing

    I have a specific folder in my pictures which I play screensaver slideshow from. My computer will play slideshow for a while (sometimes a few minutes, sometimes 10 minutes), then I get the following message: An error is preventing this slideshow from playing.

    I see that this is a ridiculously common occurrence (going back at least to Win 7), but I have yet to find a solution. I've tried multiple suggestions that I've come across while looking into this, but nothing has worked.

    Does anyone know of a solution for this? Or, if no solution, are there any good (free) screensaver programs out there I can use to play my pictures in a slideshow?

    TIA

    Screensaver slideshow error

    I am running Windows 10 and have the slideshow screensaver that comes with Windows 10 set up to be my screensaver. The problem is that often times it does not run. The screen will turn black and in small white letters it will state something like, "Unable
    to run slideshow due to error" and no other specifics. Has anyone had this problem? If so, does anyone know a solution? When it is in this error mode, I hit return and move my mouse and it takes a fairly long time for the normal desktop to come back up.

    Thanks,

    Slideshow Screensaver Error

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

    Hi Tom,

    Since you've already checked the Screen Saver Settings, kindly answer the following question for clarification:

    • Have you tried turning off the second monitor while assigning the screensaver slideshow to the primary monitor?
    • Have you tried disabling and re-enabling the screensaver?

    We also suggest that you make the screensaver slideshow to appear first at the primary monitor properly before troubleshooting with the second monitor.

    Kindly get back to us for clarification.
