Screen savers have been a staple feature in Windows for decades. Originally designed to prevent burn-in on CRT monitors, they have evolved into a customizable feature that adds a personal touch to your Windows device. However, with modern advancements, it’s now recommended to put your display to sleep to save energy.

What’s a screen saver?

A screen saver is an animated image or pattern that appears on your screen when your computer is idle for a specified period. While modern LCD and LED monitors are less susceptible to burn-in, screen savers remain a popular way to personalize your device and add an extra layer of security.

Why use a screen saver?

While screen savers are no longer essential for preventing burn-in, they offer several benefits:

Personalization: Customize your screen with animations or photos that reflect your style
Security: Automatically lock your computer when you’re away, protecting your data
Aesthetics: Add a visually pleasing element to your idle screen
Prevent Burn-In on OLED Displays: Screen savers can help prevent burn-in on OLED displays by ensuring that static images are not displayed for prolonged periods

Tip: To save energy and reduce wear on your display, it’s recommended to put your computer into sleep mode when it’s idle. Sleep mode consumes significantly less power than running a screen saver and allows your computer to quickly resume where you left off. To learn more, see How to adjust power and sleep settings in Windows.

Configure a screen saver

In the Settings app on your Windows device, open Personalization > Lock screen or use the following shortcut:

Lock screen
Select Screen saver
In the Screen Saver Settings window, select a screen saver from the drop-down list. Options include 3D Text, Blank, Bubbles, Mystify, Photos, and Ribbons
Customize Your Screen Saver: if available, select Settings… to customize the selected screen saver. For example, you can create a custom message in the 3D Text screen saver or choose a folder of pictures for the Photos screen saver
Set the Wait Time: use the Wait option to specify the number of minutes of inactivity before the screen saver activates
Enable Security: (Optional) Check the On resume, display logon screen option to require a password when resuming from the screen saver

How you can uninstall a screensaver on Windows 10 depends on how it was installed. If the screensaver was automatically installed using an installation program (or «setup wizard»), you are often able to uninstall it just as easily from the «Apps & features» panel.

If you installed it manually by copying the screensaver file to your Windows folder, you will simply have to remove that one file to uninstall the screensaver.

Screensavers installed through an installation program can also be removed this way, but other files used by the screensaver, such as configuration files, may be left behind.

Removal via «Apps & features»

The «Apps & features» panel on Windows 10 merges the «Programs and Features» and «Uninstall a program» panels seen on previous versions of Windows. It allows you to search, sort and filter a list of all programs currently installed on your computer, including any screensavers that were installed via an installation program (this is usually the case if the file you downloaded has a .exe extension and its file type in the Explorer is «Application»).

Opening the «Apps & features» panel

Click on the Start menu button at the bottom left of your screen, then click the cogwheel icon just above the power icon to enter the Windows Settings menu.

Next, click the «System» tile, highlighted below.

You have now opened the System Settings panel. Finally, click on the «Apps & features» link (under «Display») in the left sidebar to open the «Apps & features» panel.

Removing a screensaver

To remove a screensaver, or any other application, find its name in the list of installed programs and click it once to reveal the «Modify» and «Uninstall» buttons.

Uninstall and Modify buttons in the Windows 10 Apps & features panel

Clicking the «Uninstall» button, an action you may need to confirm by clicking another «Uninstall» button to signify you understand «The app and its related info will be uninstalled», will launch the application’s uninstallation program.

Follow the instructions (if any) given by the uninstallation program to complete the removal of the screensaver. When the uninstallation process has successfully completed, the application will disappear from the list in the «Apps & features» panel.

Manual removal

If a screensaver is not listed in the «Apps & features» panel or the uninstallation process fails for some reason, you can try deleting the screensaver file manually to remove the screensaver from the list in the Screen Saver Settings panel.

Open the File Explorer

To open the File Explorer, click the Start menu button, followed by the folder icon.

Browse to your C drive

In the left sidebar of the File Explorer, click the «This PC» link for an overview of your devices and drives, as well as your personal folders. Double-click the drive onto which Windows 10 is installed — on most computers, this will be the C: drive, and it will show a Windows icon.

Open the Windows folder and sort by file type

Once you have browsed to the drive onto which Windows 10 is installed, you should now see a list of folders. Near the bottom of the list, double-click the «Windows» folder to enter it.

Now click the «Type» header just above the list of files to sort the list by file type.

You can now scroll down the list to where the Type column says «Screen saver». These are the screensavers currently installed into the Windows folder.

If the screensaver you wish to remove is not listed here, scroll back up, find the «System32» and/or «SysWOW64» folders, and see if it is listed there instead.

Delete the screensaver file

Once you have located the screensaver you would like to delete, right-click the file and choose «Delete». It will be moved to your Trash Can, where you can optionally retrieve it from if you deleted a screensaver (or other file) by mistake.

After removal, the screensaver will no longer be listed in the Screen Saver Settings panel.

We can change screen saver on a computer by changing the settings in display properties. We also have a registry hack to change screen saver settings. These screen saver settings are stored under the following registry key.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Registry values that control screen saver behavior:

ScreenSaveActive
SCRNSAVE.EXE
ScreenSaveTimeOut
ScreenSaverIsSecure

To disable or enable screen saver using registry key

Set the value of the registry value ScreenSaveActive to 0. From command line you can run the below command for doing this.

Reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveActive /t REG_SZ /d 0 /f

To enable screen saver:

Reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveActive /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f

To change timeout for activating the screen saver

Set the data in the registry value ScreenSaveTimeOut to the timeout limit in seconds. For example if you want to set the time out to 20 minutes you need to change the value of this registry key to 1200.
From command line you can run the below command to change screen saver timeout limit.

Reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveTimeOut /t REG_SZ /d 0 /f

To enable or disable password protection when the session is resumed

You can password protection by setting the data in ScreenSaverIsSecure to 1. If you set this to 0, you will not be asked to provide password when you interrupt the screen saver to resume the user session.
