Screensavers not only protect your computer screen from damage, but also complete your computer's theme and simply look cool. Most users have one of the default Windows screensavers set, but these can become boring over time. Many screensavers are available online in a file format named .scr , but how do you install them? This guide shows you how. How to Find and Set Screen Savers on Windows 10. For whatever reason, Windows 10 has made finding screen saver settings unnecessarily complicated. Fret not, though. We’re here to help. Press Windows+I to open the Settings app. Click “Personlization.” Switch to the “Lock Screen” tab. Click the “Screen saver settings” link. Though not strictly necessary on modern LCD displays, screen savers still can be fun. For many of us, they provide something nice to look at—or provide useful information—when our computers go idle after a few minutes. In Windows 10’s continued—and messy—push to move settings from the Control Panel to the new Settings app, the screen saver settings have been relegated to an unexpected slot within the Personalization settings. Worse still, you can’t even get to the setting by searching the Start menu. Here’s how to find it. In previous versions of Windows, you could set screen savers via the Personalization control panel. You could also perform a quick search for “screen saver” on the Start menu and find the settings that way. In Windows 10, neither of those methods work. Instead, press Windows+I to open the Settings app, and then click “Personalization.” On the “Personalization” page, switch to the “Lock screen” tab. And then click the “Screen saver settings” link. In the end, you’ll come to the “Screen Saver Settings” dialog box, which should look pretty familiar to you. Nothing about it has changed in the last several versions of Windows. Choose a screen saver from the dropdown, adjust any options via the “Settings” button, set how long Windows should wait before engaging the screen saver, and decide whether it should display the logon screen—and ask for a password—when resuming. Like we said, screen savers are mostly for fun these days, but hiding the setting is still pretty irritating. Do you still use screen savers on Windows?

In an episode titled "Launch Party", the fifth and sixth of the fourth season, the staff attend a meeting and seem engaged with Michael Scott's presentation but they are actually watching the DVD logo bounce around the television screen, and feverisly hoping it will go into one of the corners, which is a rare sighting.

How To Change Screen Saver Settings In Windows 10.

Screen savers continue to be part of Windows 10 operating system. A total of six screen savers are available: 3D Text, Ribbons, Bubbles, Mystify, Blank (shows black screen) and Photos. If you have installed new screen savers, they will also appear in this list. You just need to access settings and enable them. Change screen saver settings in Windows 10.

  • The Control Panel and Settings in Windows 10 Most Programs and Apps Have Settings Specific to That Program
    GGCS Introduction to Windows 10 Part 3: The Control Panel and Settings in Windows 10 Most programs and apps have settings specific to that program. For example, in a word processor such as Microsoft Word there are settings for margins, fonts, tabs, etc. If you have another word processor, it can have different settings for margins, fonts, etc. These specific settings only affect one program. The settings in the Control Panel and in Settings are more general and affect the whole computer and peripherals such as the mouse, keyboard, monitor and printers. For example, if you switch the right and left buttons on the mouse in the Control Panel or in Settings, they are switched for everything you click on. If you change the resolution of the monitor, it is changed for the desktop, menus, Word, Internet Explorer and Edge, etc. How to display the Control Panel 1. Right-click the Windows Start button or press the Windows key on the keyboard + X. 2. Click “Control Panel” on the popup menu as shown in the first screen capture. In Windows 10, many of the settings that once were in the Control Panel have moved to Settings. However, there are often links in Settings that take you back to the Control Panel and many other settings that still only exist in the Control Panel. Settings versus Control Panel is an evolving part of Windows design that started with Windows 8. It is not clear at this time whether the Control Panel will eventually go away or whether it will simply be used less frequently by most users.
