  2. Google Photos Screensaver not working on Windows 10 after upgrade

    I recently upgraded a computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Prior to upgrading, the Google Photos Screensaver (included in the Picasa install) worked fine. However, following the upgrade, the screensaver fails to work. I have checked that it is still setup to work in the Screen Saver Settings window. On that window, if I click on preview, the screens flicker, go black for a minute, and then return to the way they had been before after a few seconds. And the screensaver never activates.

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Picasa, didn't help.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

    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.Use google photos as screensaver? :)

    Screensaver

    Hi Brenda,

    If the screensavers you want to use are only available in the Webshots program, then the program should be reloaded or reinstalled (if it's uninstalled) in order to use it as those screensavers or photos are not saved on your computer.

    If you don't want to use the generic screensavers available in the Screen Saver Settings, you may use your own photos as screensavers. Just make sure to put all the photos in your Picture folder. To enable it, follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Personalization > Lock screen > Screen saver settings.
    2. Click the dropdown under screen saver and set it to Photos.
    3. Click the Settings option beside it and select the Picture
      folder where the photos are saved.
    4. Click Apply, then OK.

    Please let me know if you need further assistance. I'm here to help.

    Regards.
