Windows 10 Screen Saver not working

[Wayne B]

I downloaded Windows 10 on August 8 & Screen Saver does not work. Yes I know how to set it up & preview works, but it never goes to screen saver. Worked OK with Windows 8.1. I have tried it with my photo's & also the Windows 10 screen saver options.

I am having this same problem. I saw another thread that says it was a peripheral interfering, but I don't have any plugged in.

I am having same problem also, I tried resetting power profiles, registry, and Windows system file check. None of which fixed it. Let's band together guys and come up with a fix. I'm at my wits end!

I have noticed that with screen saver set for one minute, the screen will go Black after a short period after I first turn it on before I put in Pin number. I expect Microsoft needs to send an update for this to fix the problem. A friend also has the same problem.

Here is what fixed mine.. i had a game controller that was 'hooked' up to pc.. but maybe you have something similar.

I don't have a game controller hooked up & screen saver still does not work.
