Screensaver not working in Windows 10
Earlier, screensavers were necessary for CRT monitors since the monitor background could get discolored if the screen wasn’t changed for long. This isn’t the case with modern monitors but screensavers are necessary for hiding information. In many computers, screensavers aren’t activated by default. In other cases, Windows Updates can turn off the screensavers and you need to change the settings.
A screensaver is supposed to appear after a predefined time has passed. If you still don’t see the Windows 10 screensaver even after waiting for that period of time, there may be an issue with your screensaver settings and you’ll need to fix it for it to work.
