Screensaver Stops Working but Starts Again on Reboot
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.
As per the description, I understand that you are facing some issues using Windows 10.
This might have occurred due to some third party application conflicts.
Try the methods.
Method 1:
Perform clean boot to avoid any third party software conflict.
To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Putting your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.

This is definitely a Win 10 bug.
Thankfully someone has found a workaround instead of giving standard runaround answers like the MS engineers do that accomplishes nothing. There should be a downrate UNHELPFUL button on these boards.

Sorry; This failed. Will await ''patch kit''. For some reason I cannot activate the controls, and am only using the Windows screensavers that were new for Windows 10. Good luck with the problem. Gary Stassa.

Hello, Try disabling 'Turn on Fast Start Up' in the power options. (define power options)
Certainly worked on one of my machines.
Hope this helps someone.

Hello Jackie,
Go to Control Panel.
Open Power Options.
Choose what power buttons do.
Click on 'Change settings that are currently unavailable'
Un Tick under Shut down settings, Turn on fast start-up.
Hope this works for you.
Regards, KJ
