Could you do the following?

• Open an elevated command prompt
• Enter the following command: powercfg /requests > %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\powercfgrequests.txt
• Reply with the "powercfgrequests.txt" file attached (you'll find it on your desktop)

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screensavers-not-working/?ID=182c8e8d-049e-466e-9c38-1d3fc858d03d#3 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 10:41:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screensavers-not-working/?ID=182c8e8d-049e-466e-9c38-1d3fc858d03d#3 DisplayFusion When I right click on the icon in the system tray and select 'Start Screensaver' as suggested the screensaver does start, however once the mouse is moved and the screensaver disappears I then wait for the 1 minute before it should kick back in automatically and nothing happens.

I have been using displayfusion with Windows 7 without any issues - having dual screens and using the screensaver to show pictures from different locations on different screens. However I have now upgraded to Windows 10 and although DisplayFusion loads on start-up (icon appears on the right of the taskbar) the screensaver will not work unless I open settings within DisplayFusion then 'Save' and 'Apply' before the screensaver will work. I have to then repeat the process every time I boot my computer.

I'm currently using DisplayFusion Pro V7.2

Regards,

Ben ]]>
