  1. Windows 10 screensaver won't start anymore


    I just noticed this a few days ago. It's a custom screensaver, not a Windows 10 default one. I downloaded it from a 3rd party. It worked for years until just recently, not it stopped. I downloaded another one and tried it and it does the same thing. I have my screensaver set to display the lock screen when you stop the screensaver and to start after 1 minute of no activity. I leave it for a minute and it just goes to the lock screen. And after that, every minute, it just blinks like it's trying to start the screensaver, but stays on the lock screen. Like it thinks the mouse is moving constantly. I've unplugged every external usb device, this made no difference. Why must every Windows update cause problems?


    Update: It seems when I open my screensaver settings after installing the screensaver, the screensaver is set to (none). It's like it started rejecting custom screensavers while default screensavers work fine. What gives?

    :)
