Sometimes just changing the time on the screensaver (not the type) to something else, say from 10 min down to 1 and then back to what you had it before will allow the screen saver to function normally.

In my case, it was an XP Pro (SP3) machine so the "energy" switch was not available, However, the "devicequery" switch indicated that it was either the mouse or the keyboard. Once I switched from the PS/2 keyboard I was using to a USB keyboard, the screensaver (and other power options) kicked in per the settings.

I don't know of any program that does this, but the way to find out is via the GetThreadExecutionState() function which will hold the value ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED if the thread is currently blocking the screensaver from being activated.

Is there a recommended way to prevent the Windows screensaver from starting? The closest thing I've found is this article, but what I would really like to do is just tell Windows that the computer isn't idle rather than fooling with the currently set screensaver values.

I tried capturing SC_SCREENSAVE and returning -1 in VB .Net. As commented, it works when there is no screensaver password but fails if the screensaver password is active. (I tried it in Windows XP). I also put this into a Timer's tick event, every 1000 milliseconds:

It doesn't work. The cursor jiggles back and forth and after 1 minute the screensaver flashes on for a short instance and then turns off. The screensaver turns on for only a moment, not long enough to require a password. But still, the flash is ugly.

Then I peeked at the code of "JiggleMouse" mentioned elsewhere in this question. JiggleMouse uses SendInput. SendInput works! No flash of the screensaver. I put a call to SendInput inside of a Timer that triggers every 50 seconds (just less than the minimum screensaver timeout of 60 seconds). It's sufficient to move the mouse by a delta of 0,0, no real movement. That does work. The code to put in the Tick event:

Subtle. The official way to tell Windows that the system is not idle is SetThreadExecutionState. This resets the idle timer, (or turns it off, if you pass ES_CONTINUOUS ). However, even though SetThreadExecutionState resets the idle timer, it does not stop the screensaver!

I use Mouse Jiggler to reset the idle state. This gets around a Group Policy that tends to start my screensaver (and lock the machine) at inopportune times: when I'm reading a long document, studying a complex chunk of code, or talking/listening/not-constantly-typing during a meeting.

You can use SystemParametersInfoto get the SCREENSAVETIMEOUT and then immediately set the timeout back to the same value. Do this periodically on a timer for as long as you want to prevent the screensaver from going on.

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm faced with this issue for the first time (work machine is totally locked down, as far as changing super short sleep time, screensaver, etc. - I can't even change my desktop background). I've looked around at solutions, some seemingly way overcomplicated and some...not so much.

Note that there is no F15 key, at least on any keyboard I've ever seen (but it's a legit windows keystroke), so there are no side effects. Now, if you your IT dept. is exceptionally paranoid, they may flag an F15 keystroke (mine is super paranoid, but they haven't noticed anything for months). If so, use something like scroll-lock instead.

Windows is an operating system for personal computers (PC), created by Microsoft. Most screensavers will run on any modern version of Windows, from XP and Vista up to Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11.

If you have MP4 version at present and have to use some third-party tools (after my research, Microsoft has officially reclaimed that they do not support flash, so I think you can only use some file converters to try to create your customized screensaver.), why don't you just apply some third-party tools to convert MP4 directly to scr.? After my research, you can use iScreensaver to transform your file versions, as I know, they offer a version that can be downloaded for Windows 10 users. You can just take a glance and have a try: 

That Screensaver part of GIPHY doesn't work for me, I think it only works on MAC. Do you possibly know another way I could get an animated screensaver or GIF to work as that. Or maybe and type of Software?

Then I changed its format from .exe to .scr, right click on it and pressed install.Than I open the screensaver setting, select it and press ok, but when the time goes out nothing happens, except the flash of a window.

I found this- -gb/help/182383/info-screen-saver-command-line-arguments

It states that all three are necessary to make a screensaver. That means you have to figure out how to make the sketch display in some other window handle.

With P2, it may have been possible. But with P3, it is probably very difficult.

Fliqlo for Mac/Windows is a clock screensaver that allows you to make your desktop/laptop device screen look like a flip clock. It displays the time with flip animation in large white numerals against a black background. Thanks to its visibility, you can check the time even from a distance.

I'm trying to get Free Fire Screensaver to run on my Kubuntu 14.10 machine. I've managed to install it under wine and now have an .exe file to start the fire effect (which works exactly as it should, go wine!). However I am at a loss as to how I can get Kubuntu to use it as a screensaver. I've tried creating a custom screensaver under '/usr/share/applications/screensavers/' by copying one of the existing files and then replacing the proper values with my .exe file but it just won't show up in the screensaver select screen. I'd be grateful if anyone could explain how I can get it to work or offer a worthy alternative. IT IS VITAL THAT MY COMPUTER HAS SOME SORT OF FIRE EFFECT.

Now that you know the StarField simulation screensaver filename (SSSTARS.SCR) it is tempting to search the internet and download a copy of it, and avoid of powering on a trusted old Windows XP computer. E.g. a user might offer the screensaver file from his dropbox/onedrive/g-drive account.

Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by filetype. Look for the screensaver file type (.scr). Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers, this is the black screen one).

Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut).

Right click on the shortcut on the desktop and select properties. Select the shortcut tab and there should be a field named "shortcut key". I chose to use the shortcut "CTRL + ALT + S" but any that isn't already used by windows should be fine.

Now we have a functioning screensaver keyboard shortcut, test it out. However it looks ugly on the desktop, you might be fine with that, but I wasn't so here's how you make it "invisible" (the cheat way).

Right click anywhere on the desktop and select the "view" menu. Un-check the option "Align to Grid" (if it's un-checked, leave it). Drag the icon to any of the edges of your screen until you can't see any of the text/image. Mine's in the top right so I won't accidentally click it.

You're done! Use it wisely, it can be a powerful tool!

A screensaver (or screen saver) is a computer program that blanks the display screen or fills it with moving images or patterns when the computer has been idle for a designated time. The original purpose of screensavers was to prevent phosphor burn-in on CRT or plasma computer monitors (hence the name).[citation needed] Though most modern monitors are not susceptible to this issue (with the notable exception of OLED technology, which has individual pixels vulnerable to burnout), screensaver programs are still used for other purposes. Screensavers are often set up to offer a basic layer of security by requiring a password to re-access the device.[1] Some screensaver programs also use otherwise-idle computer resources to do useful work, such as processing for volunteer computing projects.[2]

While modern screens are not susceptible to the issues discussed above, screensavers are still used. Primarily these are for decorative/entertainment purposes, or for password protection. They usually feature moving images or patterns and sometimes sound effects.

As screensavers are generally expected to activate when users are away from their machines, many screensavers can be configured to ask users for a password before permitting the user to resume work. This is a basic security measure against another person accessing the machine while the user is absent.

Some screensavers activate a useful background task, such as a virus scan or a volunteer computing application (such as the SETI@home project).[4] This allows applications to use resources only when the computer would be otherwise idle. The Ken Burns panning and zooming effect is sometimes used to bring the image to life.

The first screensaver was allegedly written for the original IBM PC by John Socha, best known for creating Norton Commander; he also coined the term screen saver. The screensaver, named scrnsave, was published in the December 1983 issue of the Softalk magazine. It simply blanked the screen after three minutes of inactivity (an interval which could be changed by recompiling the program).

By 1983 a Zenith Data Systems executive included "screen-saver" among the new Z-29 computer terminal's features, telling InfoWorld that it "blanks out the display after 15 minutes of nonactivity, preventing burned-in character displays."[7] The first screensaver that allowed users to change the activating time was released on Apple's Lisa, in 1983.

The Atari 400 and 800's screens would also go through random screensaver-like color changes if they were left inactive for about 8 minutes. Normal users had no control over this, though programs did. These computers, released in 1979, are technically earlier "screen savers". Prior to these computers, games for the 1977 Atari VCS/2600 gaming console such as Combat and Breakout, included color cycling in order to prevent burn-in of game images into 1970s-era televisions. In addition, the first model of the TI-30 calculator from 1976 featured a screensaver, which consisted of a decimal point running across the display after 30 seconds of inactivity. This was chiefly used to save battery power, as the TI-30 LED display was more power intensive than later LCD models. These are examples of screensavers in ROM or the firmware of a computer. 0852c4b9a8
