Windows 10: Windows 10 - Screensavers - Is there a limit?

i All,

first time here so don't shoot!!


I know i do not need them but i have recently purchased the full suite of 3Planesoft Screensavers, there are a total of 107 currently.I have installed them without issue.


However there is one small problem, the Screensaver Control Panel will not list all the Screensavers in the drop down menu, it only shows a list of approx 99, which when you include the windows default screensavers means there are a few missing.


Is there a registry setting that can be altered to increase the number in the list?


I can of course set windows to use the 3Planesoft Control Panel as the active screensaver and control the screensaver that is shown via that, but i would prefer to see them all listed in the windows screensaver setting panel


I have Windows 10 Home

Screensaver shortcut

I did this"
Search Results

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.

How to change the screensaver for Windows 10

Hi

Thanks for this comment. Your suggestion concerns the image(s) displayed as background. I already do this for the background.

My question did not concern the background but rather the screen saver. I can send the screensaver to an (in my computer) image directory containing any number of files (say 100). The screensaver picks only a limited number (I haven't counted, but it's
about 20). The screen saver stays with that set, displaying them in the same order on each repetition through the images. My question is whether it is possible to dislodge the built in screensaver from fixating on the same small set of images and displaying
them in the same order? Of course, the image set will change if I change image source directories, but the problem repeats if I do (though with a new set of 20ish images from the new directory).

Any work-arounds?

Thanks

Howard
