Windows 10: Windows 11 PC reboots/restarts shortly after screensaver initiation and if monitor is...

My Windows 11 Pro PC reboots by itself anywhere between 30 seconds and 2 minutes after the screen saver initiates I have the screen saver set to 1 minute, but the PC initiates the screen saver anywhere between 2-6 minutes after I/O inactivity, so I'm not sure if this is related to the problem.It also does this if the monitor is manually switched off.This does not happen while in safe mode. It also does not occur with Windows 10 installed on my PC I don't want to use Windows 10 for multiple reasons.I have checked the Event Viewer>Windows Logs>System and there appears to be an event

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.

 

Screensaver slideshow does not display correctly whith dual monitors set to "extend desktop"

Hi, and thanks for the response.

To you questions:

• Yes the screensaver slideshow works perfectly when only one monitor is selected / available
• Yes, I've switched on and off several times, rebooted, etc, many times, with no effect.

I can also add that the “Background” wallpaper based on the same set of pictures works fine on both monitors with different pictures on each monitor. The problem is only realted to the Screensaver.



Furthermore, in the past when on Windows 8.1, the Screensaver worked well with dual monitors. Initially with the Screensaver being displayed on both monitors. After some Windows 8 update the second monitor went black while
monitor 1 showed the Screensaver slideshow as it should. (I see several others complained about loosing the picture on the second monitor)



However my problem is worse. In my case I only get HALF a picture on monitor 1 )and black screen on monitor 2). Photo attached.

 

Screensaver slideshow does not display correctly whith dual monitors set to "extend desktop"

Hi Tom,

Since you've already checked the Screen Saver Settings, kindly answer the following question for clarification:

• Have you tried turning off the second monitor while assigning the screensaver slideshow to the primary monitor?
• Have you tried disabling and re-enabling the screensaver?
  

We also suggest that you make the screensaver slideshow to appear first at the primary monitor properly before troubleshooting with the second monitor.

Kindly get back to us for clarification.
