Windows 10: Can I disable the screen saver going to the laptop screen in a multi-monitor setup?

This is not an important issue at all, but strangely annoying. I have a quad monitor setup driving off of a docking station plugged into my laptop with the lid closed normally.When the screen saver kicks on, 1 of the 4 monitors is stays on every time. I eventually found that Windows 11 is trying to send the screen saver to the laptop display whether the lid is down or not AND even if the laptop is marked as disconnected when the lid is open.It seems like the screen savers are hard coded to go to screen 1 no matter what and also has a max of 4 screens.I have tried all of the screen savers, trie

Screen Saver on multi-monitor setup for Windows 11

Screen savers are fine here under win11 with multi monitors

Reviewed Display settings?

 

Dual monitor screen saver

My setup is a laptop and an external screen, I would like to have a screen saver on both monitors, when on the lock screen the same as what I see on the main monitor if that is possible.

I'm on Windows 11, and I've noticed on videos I watch on Youtube that they are able to have screen savers on both screens.

Thank you in advance.

 

Screen saver locks my laptop

Hi Stephen,

Colorful and animated screensavers look good to the eye and sometimes give you a feeling of freshness and fill you with enthusiasm. Back in the 90s and 2000s, they were in abundance and the beautifully animated ones were a craze. Back then, they were necessary
too, because of the CRT monitors. But as we moved towards LCD monitors, are the screensavers are activated for security purposes mainly.

There are steps that you can change to refrain your computer from activating the screen saver. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

• Go to Settings.
  
• Go to Personalization.
  
• Go to Lock screen.
  
• Look and click for Screen Saver Settings at the buttom of the page.
  
• Change the Screen saver drop down box to None
  
• Click Ok.

For any other concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

Regards.
