    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

    Hi Amir,

    A screen saver is a moving picture or pattern that displays on the screen(s) of your PC after you have not been active on the PC for specified period of time to wait. You can follow the steps below to change the screensaver on your Windows 10 laptop:

    • Press Windows key.
    • Click on Settings > Personalization > Lock
      screen       > Screen saver settings.
    • You can choose the Screen saver that you want in the Screen Saver Settings
      window.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    WIN10 Screen Saver can't set timer for longer period

    Power, Screen saver, and Sleep settings have no affect

    More clues...........

    After a power outage yesterday I powered up the computer but never logged in. I was surprised to see that it was asleep this morning. After logging in I checked the screen off timer, 1 minute and, the sleep timer, 2 minutes. AFTER logging out the screen went off after 1 minute and sleep mode was entered about 2 minutes after that.
    So I logged back in and waited for 10 minutes. No screen off or sleep mode. While logged in I reset the screen off timer to 15 minutes, sleep timer to 30 minutes and screen saver to 2 minutes. After 30 minutes nothing had happened. At that point I LOGGED OUT again and AFTER 15 minutes the screen went off (w/o screen saver) and AFTER 30+/- minutes the computer went into sleep mode.
    So it seems that the screen off and sleep settings in control panel work as long as no user is logged in and that the screen saver is not working either way.
    Does this make sense to anyone?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions that come my way.
