Windows 10: Windows 10 Screensaver - "choose a fit" option/functionality is missing - I need it to make...

I'm trying to use a personal folder with my pictures, in my main Pictures folder, as my (lock) screen saver input source. Some of these pictures were taken before the 16:9 aspect ratio became the norm. Many of them were taken in 4:3 aspect ratio. I'm pretty sure there used to be a way, using a "choose a fit" dropdown on the Windows screen saver "settings" page to adjust the fit to either "fit" or "fill" or "stretch" to make them fit the entire 16:9 screen, when the screen saver is running.

Was the "choose a fit" removed? Recently? It seems that my screen saver pictures worked fine during the last year or so, they were displayed in 16:9 ratio using the "choose a fit" setting, but now the older 4:3 ratio ones look like the right and left sides have been cropped about an inch.

I see there's still a "choose a fit" option for the "Background" setting under "Personalization", but not for the screen saver, under "Personalization" > "Lock Screen" > "Screen Save Settings".

I'm on a Dell Inspiron Model 7352, with all available drivers and BIOS updates, and am running Windows 10 Home, Version 1809, installed on 2019-02-24, Build 17763.379. My OS is fully up to date, AFAIK (KB4489899 was just installed). The stock Pictures files/folders are the input source, and has been for years.

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.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Screensaver Option Missing

I had all my photos as a screensaver. I'm not sure when they disappeared but now I can't locate the option to even choose a screensaver. It's not under personalization.
