    Screen Saver question, Please


    Hello,

    Have some contradictory results in trying to set up the W10 Screensaver, so if anyone has a few spare
    minutes, would be most appreciative for any help with this.

    Will blame it on old-age now..

    The line that comes up for the Screensaver says:

    Wait - Pull Down menu - minutes- check box - on resume display logon screen

    I have the pull down set to 30 minutes.

    *Do I also have to check that box ?
    I do NOT want to have to do a new Log In each time.

    How do I configure the Screensaver such that it simply waits 30 minutes to flip the pix's
    in the File I have, without doing any additional Log-Ins each time ?

    BTW: is there a "better" screen saver avail. from some third party I should
    look at that offers additional and easier options ?

    Thanks for help, very appreciated,
    Bob

    Back in the old days with CRT monitors, Screen Savers were needed for people who always left there computers on, as the Desktop image would Burn into the screen. Now LCD monitors no longer have this problem and most people put there monitor to sleep when not using. So, Screensavers are not widely used anymore. There are lots of them out there. I have been using Serenescreen Aquarium for a very long time. There are millions of others.
