    Windows 11 upgrade screensaver problem


    Since upgrading to Windows 11 yesterday, screen reverts to screensaver within about 1 minute of inactivity. When mouse etc touched it goes back to screen item. This is really annoying when trying to read a scientific paper or a news item or doing crossword. Sleep settings set to 1 or 2 hrs. Screensaver is slideshow of 42 photos randomly from my computer hard drive set to change every 1 minute. Tried change of this to 10 min but made no difference. Did not have this problem with Windows 10. Was on Live chat to-day for hours to Microsoft Support but the link sent did nothing to correct problem

    :)

    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 11 upgrade screensaver problem :)

    • How did you acquire the Windows 10 upgrade?
    This was the version that came automatically with the last major upgrade. I followed the instructions for the default upgrade and left the computer alone until it was finished. It took
    several hours, as I remember.

    • Which Windows 10 version/build are you using?
    Windows 10 Home version 1703 build 15063.483

    • Aside from installing the update, have you made any recent changes to your device prior to this happening?
    No

    • What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?
    I simply tried to see if changing any of the screensavers settings solved the problem. They don’t
