Win10 photos screen saver not working

Hi. Since a time back, my photos screen saver does not work anymore.

The preview works fine enough, but no screen saver ever starts after the time I set.

I have NUCi3BEH with Win10 Pro 20H2 with all drivers updated, all Store updates and all Windows updates.

I've tried some suggested fixes found by Google, but nothing helps.

It seems it's Windows screen savers in general that does not work, not only Photos.

Any suggestions please?

 

Screen Saver for use with my photos

I have a great screen saver that I have used for years - Firehand Screen Saver. Unfortunately now that I have come to install it on a new PC it won't recognise the ID and PW required. The guy who wrote and marketed it is no longer trading - the problem with one man businesses!

A remote hope - is anyone else using this screen saver (and its companion photo viewer Ember) and willing to pass on registration information
or
suggest a screen saver I can use with my photos. A search for free ones seems to just produce ones with built in images.

 

"Photos" Screen Saver Options

I recently [yesterday] purchased a Surface Pro (5), and with it comes Windows 10. [to this point, I had been using a Windows 7 laptop].

I've set up my (Windows 10 default 'Photos') screen saver, and it seems to actually work [cool], but the photos don't fill the screen. On the Windows 7 machine, the screen saver filled the screen with the photos, and there was a slow panning effect.

Is there an option to a) ask the screen saver to "fill" the screen with the photos and b) ask the screen saver program to pan on the photos?
