However, I've had no issues since I last posted. No idea why. If anything changes I will post again. Thank you. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-stops-working-randomly-after-some-time/?ID=00bbb6b0-f273-4ec2-a36c-f36ad155f5c0#4 Wed, 25 Jan 2023 16:14:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-stops-working-randomly-after-some-time/?ID=00bbb6b0-f273-4ec2-a36c-f36ad155f5c0#4 DisplayFusion Can you disable the screensaver through DisplayFusion and set it up through Windows, and test it for a few days to see if the wait timer still get's changed? I wonder if another app is changing it. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-stops-working-randomly-after-some-time/?ID=00bbb6b0-f273-4ec2-a36c-f36ad155f5c0#3 Wed, 25 Jan 2023 15:12:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-stops-working-randomly-after-some-time/?ID=00bbb6b0-f273-4ec2-a36c-f36ad155f5c0#3 DisplayFusion When it stops working and I go check the value, it's changed to 1 minute. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-stops-working-randomly-after-some-time/?ID=00bbb6b0-f273-4ec2-a36c-f36ad155f5c0#2 Wed, 25 Jan 2023 15:07:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-stops-working-randomly-after-some-time/?ID=00bbb6b0-f273-4ec2-a36c-f36ad155f5c0#2 DisplayFusion That value in DisplayFusion is the same value from the Screensaver settings in Windows, so it shouldn't matter whether DisplayFusion is running or not. Is the actual value getting changed, or does it still show 15 minutes when the issue happens? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-stops-working-randomly-after-some-time/?ID=00bbb6b0-f273-4ec2-a36c-f36ad155f5c0 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 23:20:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-stops-working-randomly-after-some-time/?ID=00bbb6b0-f273-4ec2-a36c-f36ad155f5c0 DisplayFusion I'm on a Windows 10 PC and set the screen saver to display photos from a particular folder on both my monitors after being idle for 15 minutes. But after what seems to be a random amount of time, doesn't seem to matter if I had left the PC, shutdown or restarted it will eventually just stop working and reset the timer to 1 minute. I have to manually reapply the timer again and it will work, all the other settings are unchanged.

Could it be it is because I've set DisplayFusion not to start when I launch Windows? So it's basically always off until I need to reset the settings again? ]]>
