Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help in solving the issue.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the NVIDIA graphics driver.
- Check Programs and Features and uninstall anything related to NVIDA.
- Next is to download and install the latest graphics driver from the manufacturer site.
- Once installed reboot your laptop for all the changes to take effect.
- After the reboot do test if you'll have the same problem or not.

Hopefully this will help.

TIL there are screensavers in win 10... they so well hidden its no wonder I missed them all this time. Monitor turns off after 10 minutes, I don't really need one anymore anyway... nice to know they there though.

I am a bit confused by what you mean when you say you want the screensaver to work when you are away Did youi .
go to Settings,then personalization, then Lock screen and select screensaver from Drop down menu?.

I had not really looked for one, I used to have way too many of them about 15 years ago when I first got a win 95 PC at work, now my power settings turn monitor off after 10 minutes so I don't have a use for a screensaver anymore. I don't use lock screen either so never seen that short cut to screensaver settings, I don't have option for screensaver in the drop down box, just windows spotlight, slideshow and picture, but as I said, I don't use them anymore.

If I were at work, and this wasn't my own computer, I probably would know these settings.

I am sorry, my response was to Leland. But like you, i don't use the screensaver.
