    Yes, the built-in one.
    To open it, you can put this in the Run dialog or make a shortcut to it for convenience.
    Code:
    rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,1
    Do please bear in mind that screensavers are a solution to a problem that disappeared a couple of decades ago.
    They serve no purpose nowadays apart, possibly, from entertainment.


    All the best,

    Hi there

    I run a free program called Lively Wallpapers. It might be of interest to you.
    I've installed it on my Desktop PC but it also comes as a Microsoft App.
    I personally use it to run homemade animations as a screensaver.
    Check it out ....

    Whoever invented the 3d pipes screensaver must have worked on a offshore oil platform. I kid you not, some of the piping runs are just like that LOL.

    I used to use ScreenSaver Commander for the custom Screensavers I used to collect back then:
    ScreenSaver Commander - Search

    Now I collect cool wallpaper images, and have my screen play a randomized list of those wallpapers once my computer goes inactive.
    So when my computer goes inactive for 10 minutes, it will lock my account, and random images start to play.
    I have a really cool wallpaper collection:
    Pepanee's Custom Compilation Of Desktop Wallpaper Images
    (lol last updated about 7 years ago. Got so many more images. Links don't work anymore, but if you want, I can make a new big compilation for people to download.)
