In the world of Windows computers, screen savers offer us the ability to personalize our workstations and showcase our personalities. For those who want to switch things up a bit, we have compiled a list of 7 different ways you can change your Windows computer screen saver.

1. Use the Classic Windows Screen Saver Settings:

To access the classic settings, right-click on your desktop and select “Personalize”. Navigate to “Lock screen” on the left-hand menu and scroll down to find “Screen saver settings”. Here, you can choose from various preset screen savers or use a custom image collection.

2. Download Custom Screen Savers from Third-Party Websites:

There are numerous websites that let you download custom-designed screen savers for free. Just ensure that the site and its content are trustworthy and secure before downloading any files.

3. Create Your Own Slideshow:

Select the “Photos” screen saver option in the Screen Saver Settings window. You can then choose a folder containing some of your favorite images. This method allows you to create a personalized slideshow that will play during your computer’s idle time.

4. Use Video Files as Screen Savers:

By using third-party tools like Video Screensaver or VLC Screensaver, you can convert your favorite video clips into screen savers. Simply download one of these programs and follow their instructions for using video files as your computer’s screen saver.

5. Employ Live Wallpaper Applications:

Live wallpaper applications such as Wallpaper Engine offer users a way to use dynamic and interactive wallpapers or visualizations as their screen savers. Many of these applications come with an extensive catalogue of live wallpapers, allowing you to choose one that suits your style.

6. Make Use of Rainmeter Skins:

Rainmeter is a customization tool that allows users to create dynamic desktops complete with widgets, applets, and skins. Some Rainmeter skins come with screen savers, making it an excellent way for users to personalize their computers.

7. Change Windows Theme:

Windows themes often come with a matching screen saver. By changing your Windows theme, you can refresh your desktop’s appearance and switch to a new screen saver simultaneously. To change the theme, right-click on your desktop, select “Personalize” and go to “Themes” in the left-hand menu.

In conclusion, there are several easy methods to change your computer’s screen saver on Windows. From using preset options to creating custom slideshows and even dynamic live wallpapers, the opportunities for personalization are endless. Happy customizing!

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
