Screensaver is not working after Windows update to 1903.

I have a very similar issue... was running 1903 update and everything was ok.. then updated to 2004 which completely broke all of my network drives.. then downgraded back top 1903 and now screen saver not working.. Microsoft.. please please please test your updates properly... I rely on Windows 10 for my business and I can not simply have it stop working because you have not done complete testing.

I have now have no idea how to fix the screen saver issue.. it just doesn't work period.. and NOTHING has been changed on my part.. except the upgrade to 2004 and then the downgrade to 1903 so clearly they two are related.

I have looked at all of the suggestions to date and none of them have resolved the issue.. screensaver simply doesn't kick in..

Thoughts/comments?

Happened with me too. Previously I went to Level 3 support and it turns out that the bug is due to to synching settings. with the latest 'upgrade' this was enabled and so my screensaver has gone. Even if you untick synch- too late! The only way to fix it, is to add a new local account; move across your files; reinstall all your apps; add in your MS account; etc. Grrrrrrr

Actually I had same problem. Every time when I tried to access screen saver settings I got the message ,,This screen saver has no option that you can set,, But i can select what screen saver I want and I put wait 5 min. In power options I select turn off monitor 20 min. After that after my screen turn off in five min screen saver work properly.

I have Chrome.  After I did the clean install, the screen saves worked.  After the latest up dates they stopped.  I don't have anything plugged in but it worked just fine with anything I plugged in such as external drives of various uses.  I am ticked off that their antivirus updates, even with full approval, takes out all the drivers and they won't  work even if reinstalled again.  Microsoft doesn't  care.

I recently did a clean install on my laptop.  No problems.  Some screen savers did work but they were from prior installations.  Now, as of last week, none work.  Why do we have to scramble around each time there is an update?  I bypass the logon screen and always have, no go.  Why isn't Microsoft sending a patch?  They want our business but maybe the individual consumer doesn't count as much as a business consumer.  I don't like deleting updates but this is a pain in the a**!  I am going to try something with windows defender.  We'll see.
