• My offices are reorganizing after that the screen saver is running

  Hi all

  I encountered a problem with El Capitan that I lived for a while and don't have only recently started to nail.  Every once in a while (and), my virtual workstations will reorganize.  I have three desktops that I keep open at work all the time.  Office 1 has applications assigned to him, and the other two do not.  However, Desktop 2 and 3 office often get switched.  It seems to happen after the screen saver has run for a bit, and as far as I know, I do anything to make it.  I know that you can drag - move desktop to manually reorder, but this is not what is the cause.

  Someone would have seen this happen before, and to know what anyone?  Or have I met an unknown problem?

  Thanks for the help!

• Tecra M7 - after which the screen saver will not return

  Occasionally, the screen turns off according to power options, but not coming back when you press keys or the mouse is moved. The only way I can get the screen to wake-up is to transform the notebook into tablet mode and vice versa.

  This always the screen wakes up but is boring to do. This problem is only intermittent and if it has place at all this is the first time, the screen turns off after coming out of hibernation or otherwise turn on.

  Y at - it a fix for this problem?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Not easy to say why it happens.
  The display turns off automatically or did you put the laptop into sleep mode.
  This occurs if the laptop is in the PC mode or Tablet PC?

  If we talked about Eve so as far as I know the laptop wakes up not of mode before moving the mouse. You must press the power button.
  In addition, you can wake up a screen with the mouse only moves if the screen saver was.

  However, you said that sometimes happens.
  I put t don't know if this helps, but check the Toshiba driver page.
  Check the versions available and compare. Try to update the graphics driver

• Monitor turns off after 5 minutes & password protect when he wakes up. View properties - > screen saver "Wait: __minutes" and "on RESUME, Password Protect" checkboxes are grayed out.

  Help, please!

  I'm on a processor to work, so I've limited the administrative rights on the computer. My work function requires that I propose on the desktop to help others with professional assignments.

  THE PROBLEM: After 5 minutes of inactivity mouse/keyboard of the monitor off on the processor to work, she does not even go to a screensaver first, the screen turns off just in standby mode. When the mouse is moved or a key is struck, the screen lights up with a name/password user. I am developing carpal tunnel / repetitive stress syndrome having to retype my username and password so darn times per day, at the expense of some administrative setting of BOGUS Microsoft Windows... SHEESH!

  When I click on Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> display-> Display Properties-> screen saver , the "Wait: __minutes" and "On resume, password protect" checkboxes are GRISEES OUT [you can't edit these settings] . In addition, the default screen saver is set to void and no matter how many times I change it to something else and click 'Apply' return empty by default.

  TWO SERIOUS CONCERNS:

  Un When I'm away from my desk for more than 5 minutes, if someone arrives at my office, looking for me, it seems that my machine is completely off, so that co-workers can get the impression that I am out of the office when I could very well be just down the Hall.

  Two The Office I'm implemented in a motion sensor energy saving lights in the office, if the lighting turns off automatically too, so if I'm missing in the server room or help someone at their work station for an extended period of time, if someone comes to my office, looking for me, my machine seems to be completely off AND turned off the lights in my room , so it's as if I has not yet come to the office that day there!

  PPS. Isn't it above described situation in the heart of the reason why employers more these days this demand we have iPhones, BlackBerry and SmartPhones? Because doctors and human beings humans with a bit of common sense finally realized that we must be sure that we move around during the day, at least several times per day, not only the stationary to our office location - watch a screen - ensuring that move us the mouse every five minutes so that our machine is not hibernate and look like it is not to do anything?

  PPP. If Microsoft can not help me with a work around for this issue because this issue is, 'something that I take with my 'network administrator',' kiss my _______! Everyone must be wrong because of the stupid administrative _ like this and if yes - I NEED TO KNOW - maybe I was just not cut for a job on time full computer.

  Hello JDG_SF, welcome.

  These options are very likely controlled by your GP (Group Policy) settings on your domain. Due to the nature of the work of rights how administrative, there is no way to work around this problem, unless you have access to change group policy settings that affect all the machines on your network.

  You would need to access or to change the settings of GP or find someone who already has access.

• Computer lock up after the active screen saver. __

  The problem: after the screensaver kicks in if I stop I'm usually back in the log on screen, however, if the computer starts to slow down, sleep, CV, I get a black screen and I can hear the computer still active in the background and I can hot key to open applications, but all I see is a black screen. Sometimes I see the mouse on the black screen. My resolution is to turn it off and turn it back on.

  Any ideas, I played with the Device Manager and deleted a few? the elements and rebooted to see if any device driver was causing the problem. I played around with the screen saver and power management and tried different settings and nothing works.

  See you soon.

• Autolock office after 1 minute without having a screen saver or management settings that take in charge of power

  My vista computer locks my desktop (just like Win + L) automatically after 1 minute of inactivity so I don't have a screen saver or any power management settings that could indicate that.

  I timed it it and its exactly 1 minute of inactivity on the keyboard or the mouse.

• After leaving the screen saver, display shuts off and change to select the user account screen

  I have a windows7 32 bit desktop. While everything works fine the problem is whenever I leave the keyboard and mouse intact even for one minute, the display turns off and change to select the screen of the user. 'Disable the display' and "put the computer to sleep" has been on 'never' and screen saver changed nothing but the problem still persists.

  Please provide the solution

  Hi Sam,

  Sorry for the late reply.

  I understand that when your computer is left idle, the select user screen appears.

  The issue can be caused if the power plan settings are incorrect.

  To get a better understanding of the issue, I want to know:

  1. What is the brand and model of your computer?
  2. You did it changes on your computer before this problem?

  To resolve the problem, try the following methods:

  Method 1: Troubleshooting to be able to run.

  The resolution of the problems of power check things as settings timeout of your computer, which determines how long the computer waits before turning off the display or enter the mode 'sleep'. These settings can help you save energy and extend the life of the battery in your computer.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-power-Troubleshooter

  After trying method 1, if the problem persists, try Method 2.

  Note: When you're done, restart your computer and check if your computer works fine. If the problem persists, try Method 2.

  Method 2: Change the screensaver settings.

  I suggest you follow also the suggestion given in the answer by Vijay B answered the

• Windows 7 freezes after the awakening of the screen saver.

  Windows 7 has recently been gel after the awakening of the screen saver that works all night.  This does not happen after shorter periods, to be in screen saver mode.

  I use a (empty) delivered screensaver.  When he wakes up I can open the Control Panel, but I can't open anything else.  If I try to open a Web browser first browser does not open and I can't open the Panel configuration or any other application.  I can't even restart the computer without hitting the power button.

  This is a new Windows machine and it worked fine for several months.  It is a series of of CM5571 ASUS desktop PCs. Pentium E5400 Dual Core CPU. 6 GB of ram 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.

  In the event logs, I see errors repeated for SideBySide and volmgr.

  My advice is that you should update the BIOS and motherboard drivers:

  http://support.ASUS.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

  Have you tried updating the BIOS yet?  'freeze upwards after the awakening of the screen saver'-c' is very similar to a problem faced by Vista users with motherboards Asus 2/3 years ago:

• I put my screen saver to turn on after 1 minute of inactivity. It does not

  I put my screen saver to turn on after 1 minute of inactivity. He does not. I followed the instructions for the Dell Studio PC monitor owner, without success (i.e. type msconfig in the search field, etc.). Could it have something to do with the type of computer that I use (IT ' has an ASUS K52F series)?

  It would be useful to know what checks you did already [especially because your reference in msconfig means you did not hurt already].

  I assume you have checked the installation was properly completed and everything on the monitor & PC are in agreement.  I suppose also that you have checked the monitor & display settings in the display panel and checked power options.

  Check the entries in the Manager of devices for all the warnings, and then try to update drivers - particularly the card video than the one responsible for many problems of power management driver.

  Run the troubleshooter of power

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-power-Troubleshooter

  then run both the troubleshooters maintenance & Control Panel Performance, troubleshooting.

  If the settings you put in do not appear in the advanced power management options so watch this one then

  When you configure power options for the active power plan in Windows Vista or in Windows 7, the changes do not appear in the Power Options item in Control Panel

  If this does not help then run the System File Checker to repair corrupted in Win7 files
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833 there is additional guidance on this subject in sfc.exe/scannow

  Finally, check your hardware compatibility http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-gb/Default.aspx

• How to get the screen saver photos slideshow goes completely after 2 minutes

  Since I got windows 7 my photo slide show I had always put to screen saver turns off after 2 minutes. I love looking at all the photos of my grandchildren, my screensaver settings is correct, but I don't want my screen to go black after only a few pictures

  Hi Emmauscapeofgoodhopesupportteam,

  I think I have the solution to your problem, who can you look at pictures of your grandchildren.

  As you said you have the correct settings for the screen saver, but your power management options can be verified.

  Please follow the instructions below.

  1. click 'START' and select 'control panel '.

  2. click on 'Harware and its' option

  3. now, select "Power Options" now you should see the options of 'Balanced or High Performance' under 'Select power management.

  4. Select the "Balanced" option and click on "change plan settings".

  5. now, you will find an option "Disable display" default is 'Never' and if not please change it to "never."

  so this should keep your monitor after happening to the screensaver. If you want to be off after some time, you can select required time to the same option settings.

  Just reply to your convenience.

• Windows 7 Home Premium switch user screen appears after that so much time has passed well that slowed after the SmileDesktop with screen saver is installed, but do not know how to stop it.

  I used the selective startup to the Office of Smile, which replaces and updates the old Webshots Desktop, which includes the automatic download and auto downloads of images from their site as well as a screen saver.

  There nothing good. rest after so many minutes I connect get back a windows screen does not cause me to lose any data or stop all processes. All running processes continue, but it's the nagging drawback of signing as myself to the computer after having been automatically set user to switch mode. It's probably the fault of this program. In addition, before this Webshots desktop update which included also a screen saver Windows update the eve told me don't not to unplug my computer and that she had to deal with several updates of windows, so I went and the computer stop moments later. The next day was when the message for an update has been waiting for the SmileDesktop program, which is a program that mimics Webshots Desktop, as well as replace the Webshots Desktop. After installed SmileDesktop automatically changed my screen saver settings that were on any mode SmileDesktop screen saver mode. I clicked on the option to disable screen saver. That's when I first noticed the screen splash appearing after that so many minutes of inactivity, change that said user and then I started to worry.
  Norton has found no problem with my computer, and
  Finally, I gave up.

  Hello

  Thanks for asking this question to Microsoft Community.

  If I understand correctly, you want to disable the fast user switching option. Could you please answer a few questions before moving?

  Since when are you facing the issue? Do you have any security program installed on the computer? How many accounts is configured on the computer? Have you done a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  Here is an article that will help you to turn off the fast user switching option. Alternatively, you can uninstall Office to smile and check if it helps. You can also make the screen saver password that is built into Windows. Follow these steps:

  (a) open screensaver settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type screen saver, and then uncheck the box for password game screen.

  Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.
