HI Ron,

is it a 3rd party screensaver or are you talking about the Windows one?.

HI Ron,

I have had this screen saver for years now, only one I really liked. http://www.jessonyip.com/analogy/

Got it for Jesson Yip many years ago..Yea it is a 3rd. party..

Now that I think of it, even the standard windows screen saver won't work..

HI Ron,

you could try asking them for help as I have no idea about the app itself!:

Third part screensavers are always a crap shoot as far a reliability goes, especially with 10 and it's cumulative probl......err updates.
Wish I could offer more advice on solving the issue.. perhaps, uninstall and reinstall?.. worth a go.

Yea I can try to uninstall and reinstall. What I don't understand the same screen saver has been working for a copule of years now, just the last windows 10 update stopped it..

Hi Ron,

you didn't say what version of W10 you have, maybe try an upgrade if you have an older version?, it might help solve the problem?:

With each and every cumulative effort by MS, there seems to be inherent and often new issues, with what seems to be thier philosophy of "fix three things, bugger up a dozen more" approach... I'm certain at so point they'll get in right...I hope.

HI Binkie,

I would do an upgrade as you are a couple of versions behind (current version is 1703 and you have 1607). This may well solve your problem(s)?.
