In case you followed the instructions in the previous section and you still have a problem running your screensaver, then one of the next troubleshooting methods will probably fix the issue. in Step 4, some online tutorials are suggesting changing the Desktop background settings > Slideshow to available instead of paused, but this is nonsense since it controls your desktop background and not your screensaver.

This way, your computer will start the screensaver (let’s say after 5 minutes) and after, let’s say 10 minutes of inactivity, your computer will turn off the screen.

There is also an option that makes the computer go to the logon screen every time it wakes up from a screensaver (a useful option for security minded users). The screensaver will be triggered automatically after this number of minutes. Now you’ll need to set the Wait time in minutes. You can always click the Preview button in order to trigger it on purpose and see how it will look like. The old-fashioned Screen Saver Settings window will appear and first thing we’ll need to do then is to choose one from the drop down list (choose anything other than None!).
