Do you remember when a screen saver was needed? If you are not familiar with this, please tell me that they have been widely used to protect cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors to prevent image burn-in; problems that occur when images are displayed for a long time. The introduction of LCD monitors solved the aging problem and greatly reduced the popularity of screen savers.
However, they are still liked by many for their unique ability to make the screen appear eye-catching. If you are willing to add a nice visual touch to your PC, read along as we show you how to set a screensaver on Windows 10 with ease.
Set Screensaver on Windows 10
- To get going, right-click on your desktop and choose “Personalization” in the menu.
- Now, click on “Lock screen”.
- Next, click on “Screen saver settings”.
- Under the Screen saver section, click on the drop-down menu and choose your preferred screen saver. Windows 10 comes with six screen savers: 3D text, Blank, Bubbles, Mystify, Photos, Ribbons.
- To find out which one can go nicely with your taste, simply select a screen saver and then click on Preview.
- After selecting a desired Windows 10 screen saver, click on “Settings” to customize it.
- One thing worth noting is that the customization options in Settings depend on the screen saver you choose. Besides, not all screen savers have their own settings.
- Once you have fine-tuned the screen saver settings, click on “OK”.
- Up next, you can use the “Wait” option to choose the number of minutes after which the screen saver will turn on. If you want to automatically lock your PC when the screen saver turns on check the box to the left of On resume, display logon screen. When you have customized the settings, click on “Apply”.
- Finally, click on “OK” and you are ready to go!
Going forward, Windows 10 will invoke the screen saver based on the settings you have applied. If you ever happen to change it, return to the same settings and make the desired changes as explained above.
