Screensaver Not working

Hello @Zardoz56,

[1] Is it in the Recycle Bin?
[2] Have you got a System Restore Point PRIOR to deleting it?
[3] A System Image will probably NOT help because of the changes [ Files, Folders, Programs, App, etc ] made since it was created.

Is there a system file that affects whether the screensaver will work? I accidentally deleted a system file and do not remember the name of it, since then no screensavers. I have an "undelete" app but I need the name.

Try Change Screen Saver Settings in Windows 10

Hello @Zardoz56,

Have a look at this => Location Of Screensaver Files In Windows 11/10

It appears to be in the C:\Windows\System32\ folder [ if C:\ is your OS drive ] when you find it.

Which Screensaver is it you are after?

I hope this helps.

Hello @Zardoz56,

I just performed a search for .scr on my computer and these are the results . . .



I hope this helps.

c:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr in my case

HTH

How about running SFC or even a Repair install to replace the file?
