First the system specs:Windows 10 Home v1709Intel i5-6600K @ 3.5 GHz16 GB RAM1 x BENQ 24' Monitor @1080p1 x Samsung SyncMaster @something not 1080.drivers and windows up to date.The problem:Windows screen saver is not displaying certain themes. For example, since getting the computer, I've been using the 'Mystify' screen saver, and I've had no issues till now. The screen goes dark, but a message in white text reads something like 'windows cannotdisplay screensaver' - or something like that.So I went into settings to see if the settings were changed and they weren't.
The preview window is not showing the preview, however. For the photo Gallery option, the preview 'monitor' says exactly this: 'An error is preventing this slide show from playing.' And for the 'Mystify option it simply says 'No preview available'.Background info that may help?Since adding the syncmaster as a second monitor, I've noticed that it doesn't always connect to the computer after the computer wakes up; I have to unplug the display cable from the GPU and plug it back in and then the computer all of a suddenly recognizesit as a second monitor (and sometimes it takes more than one try). I don't know if this has any correlation to the screen saver issue, but help with this issue is welcome!Thank you.UPDATE. May/14/18I logged back on to my account and it seems to be working fine.
I have no idea what went wrong, or how it was fixed. Thanks for the responses! I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.IN addition to the Screensaver being phased out, Photo Gallery is already phased out along with the other Windows Live Essentials llike Mail which are having features shut off now.Others have corrected problems with Screensaver by removing Photo Gallery and choosing pictures via the Photos app or Pictures folders.You might also like using the spectacular Windows 10 Themes at Settings Personalization Themes which also have many free ones to sample in the Store of the most spectacular pictures ever taken. These can be used in a Background slideshow instead of Screensaver,or have both.I hope this helps.
