Is your screen saver not working?

If Your Windows 10 screensaver is not working this is something that can be resolved fairly easily.

In this post, we’ll share not one but three solutions. Simply start with the first one and move through until you find the right solution for you.

Unplug external devices that you don’t need

Too many plugged-in devices can cause this issue. Therefore, if you have several external devices attached, like PlayStation, Razer, XboX, or Logitech, we suggest that you remove the ones you don’t require.

Check the settings of the screensaver

This error can be caused by incorrect screen saver settings. Here are the steps to fix the issue:

• Press Windows logo key and then select control panel
• Set view by to Category and then click Appearance and Personalization
• Now click Change screen saver
• Here you can choose the screen saver that you want to use. Next customize it and then set the timer as per your preferences.
• Click the Apply button and then click OK

Update device drivers

Corrupt or outdated drivers can cause this issue? So what’s the solution?

Start by downloading the latest Windows updates (if you’ve not set Windows to automatically download updates as and when they become available). Here are the steps to follow.

• Press Windows logo key + I simultaneously
• Next click Update & security
• Now click Check for updates

Next, update your drivers. This can be done manually but it is far more time-consuming and error-prone than the automatic update option.

Automatic Driver Updates

Automatic driver update tools offer many benefits, the most important ones being:

• You can update device drivers automatically
• The software scans and updates all outdated or missing drivers at one go
• The tool picks the right drivers for your device and operating system, so you won’t have to worry about installing an incorrect driver by mistake
• Automatic driver updates are 100% safe
