Exactly my problem. Worked with Windows 8 perfectly. Not now that I have upgraded to 8.1. Very frustrating as this is how I view my travel and family photos in my living room. I have done everything that you have done.
Screensaver not working in Windows 8.1

Since upgrading (?) from Windows 8 to 8.1 the usual screensaver does not come on at all. I have tried everything I can think of and what suggestions I can get from whatever source to solve this problem, but have failed. Does anyone know of a conflict that could be causing this problem. Prior to the upgrade the screensaver was coming on as scheduled and I was able to change the view to whatever I wanted to. Now there is no setting or combination of adjustments that work. I would like to start a thread on this problem to see if anyone else has had this problem and was it solvable or is there any hope. Yes, I have Googled the problem already and tried the suggestions there, but I am willing to try anything that anyone can think of.
