  1. Windows 10 Screensaver


    I have a brand new HP Desktop with Win 10. My issue is that after setting up a screensaver, when the screen times out, I get a blank black screen. This is regardless of the type of program I use photos,mystify,bubbles I have consulted both MS and HP with no luck. MS even had me download and install the MS Iso app to reinstall WinX. My question is this. There is a setting within Timing Out that says "When plugged in turn off after XX minutes. It is set to 30. Then in screen saver settings it says "wait XX minutes. I have set this to 15. How do these two settings affect the process? Which one actually determines when the screen times out and ostensibly goes to screensaver? One of the HP "techs" suggested I may have a faulty OS and need to reset to factory settings. Ouch! Can anyone enlighten this old man? Thank you, Jeff

    :)

    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 Screensaver :)

    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
