• Suddenly changed screen saver

  Hello. Then, when I turned on my laptop this morning, everything was normal and fine. Then I went to do something, closed my laptop (no has not properly shut it down because I knew I had to use it soon). Later, I opened it again to the top and the screensaver has been changed. I'm sure no one entered my room and it changed while I was away, and I got very paranoid about to receive my pirate laptop because it's already happened once.

  What does this mean?

  Hi John,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  This problem may occur because of file system corrupt, corrupted user profile or the key is removed from the Windows registry.

  I suggest you try the methods and check them off below if this is useful:

  Method 1: Run "DISM Cleanup-Image' tool.

  Follow the steps below:

  1. Open a command prompt and run as administrator.
  2. At the elevated command prompt, copy and paste the command below that you want to use.

  DISM / Online/Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

  DISM / Online/Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

  DISM / Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

  3. in the end, it is recommended to restart the PC to configure updates that may have been affected by the present.

  Method 2: Using the Option "restore defaults".

  On the lock screen customization page, right-click on a thumbnail of the image and select the option 'restore defaults'.

  Method 3: Renaming SystemData file.

  1. press "Win + R" keys to open the dialog box RUN. Now, copy the rest of string in the text box and press ENTER:

  %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\

  It will open the "Windows" folder that contains many other subfolders inside.

  2. now to take possession of the folder "SystemData.

  3. after taking possession, rename the folder to another name such as SystemData_bak, etc.

  Original title: __Locked (in gray) screen saver settings___

  Hello

  I just changed a new laptop with win 7. I have a little problem with screen saver which is defined in the field of sleep on white screen, set to 15 minutes and requires the password. Everything is more gray, so I have no possibility to change that.

  Can someone help me to unlock the screen saver settings (remove the grey shadow) so that I can customize my screen saver?

  Thank you

  Hi Baracus,
   
  1. are you able to click on the dropdown under screen saver?
  2 or it is dimmed as well?

   

  If this isn't the case, then select a different screen saver and try to change the settings.

  Hello

  ·         You can use the keyboard or the mouse wireless?

  I know, a wireless device can cause damaged screen saver. If so, please change another available cable device.

  By default, the settings are different from different screensavers. Some screensavers have these options to be set in the window of the screen saver, as the text the screen saver, 3D Screensaver pictures, popular screensaver and screensaver of Windows Live Photo Gallery. Some screen savers have no options to set in the window of the screen saver, such as screen saver Aurora, the white screensaver, the screensaver bubbles, Mystify, ribbons screen saver screen saver and Windows Logo screen saver. However, if you want to change these settings for screen savers, you can customize them through the registry instead.

  To resolve this problem, I would propose the following suggestions.

  Method 1: Try to scanner auditor of file system (CFS) on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  Method 2: Check if the screen saver is activated, please follow the following link to get the procedure.

  Hi Sunny,

  You can't add as sepia options, randomly in the screen saver. Windows comes with several screen savers. You can also create your own personal photo screen savers, that you saved on your computer, or some software companies might develop additional screensavers for download or purchase.
