I think one case to use it was because it means you can lock the computer after a specified time. Good at home if you have children/cats who might press buttons and I think my work PC locks itself using a screensaver too.

I don't know if there's a better way now?

The easiest way to do this is to navigate to:

Settings -> Personalization -> Lock Screen -> Screen Saver Settings

and applying the following settings:

You don't need screen saver for that.

Does that work for you? If I set it as screensaver it just stays still (but demo is OK)

Seems like GPU's issue (driver) then. The same here though, it works, but not blurring the desktop.

Code:

reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "ScreenSaveActive" /t REG_SZ /d "1" /f
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "ScreenSaverIsSecure" /t REG_SZ /d "0" /f
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "ScreenSaveTimeOut" /t REG_SZ /d "60" /f
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "SCRNSAVE.EXE" /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Windows\System32\Bubbles.scr" /f

These days with saving planet Earth etc, its better to turn the monitor off rather than use a screensaver if you're gone for any length of time.

My monitor takes 15W at full load, changing halogen bulbs at home for LED would do more good, I did. :)

How do you find out what wattage its drawing?

Methinks it's Earth day today, they plan to shut down all unnecessary lights in Belgrade for an hour this evening . I have changed to LED tights in whole house. A 100W light-bulb use only 12W now.
