Why is it so damn hard to find the screen saver settings in Windows? You should just be able to right click on the desktop and there should be a change screen saver setting.
I didn't know where to find it before starting this recording.
It was pretty discoverable.
Option 2/2 coming soon

This worked as easily as you'd expect too.
Maybe you're just not the target audience for the screensaver feature, OP

fucking retard
>>53915435
>right click, personalize
>lock screen
>themes
>change screen saver
Yeah, so intuitive.
>>53915447
I'm more likely to type in 'screen' instead of 'saver'.
It's not just win10 that it's a pain. It's from vista on.
>>53915471
You want to personalize something that happens when the screen locks, right?
Makes sense to me.
I'd also like to be able to change my screen saver often without remembering all that bullshit you have to go through to get to it. I can't be the only one.
>>53915534
Just discover it each time, surely you have good feature discovery talents.
>>53915524
> personalize something that happens when the screen locks
Uh, I don't know what that means. Well I do, but it's a big fucking roundabout way to put it.
I just want to change my screen saver.
>>53915545
I don't even know what feature discovery is.
Fucking windows. I just want to use the computer without all these buzzwords that nobody knows.
>>53915583
Sounds like you might be better off getting a Mac, kiddo.
>>53915644
More like old timer :^)
I started with XP. I don't care enough to deal with re-learning the ridiculously non-intuitive roundabout ways to access something as simple as the screen saver, and it pisses me off when I can't find it.
>>53915674
The process is ultimately similar to XP
>right click on desktop
>properties
>screen saver tab
vs
>right click on desktop
>personalize
>lock screen
>screen saver

What is a lock screen? I associate a lock screen with Windows+L (I work in a domain environment).
I would assume that menu contained things like the lock screen wallpaper and such. A screen saver is one of the last things I'd ever associate a lock screen with.
>>53915965
Go back to clicking the START button to STOP using your computer, retard
>>53915393
Because windows screensaver is a system root service.
>win key

>doesn't know that windows+L 'locks' the screen.
kill yourself
>>53916040
Are you dumb? I'll spell it out for you further
>Press the "Windows" button on your keyboard
>Wait for the "Start Menu" to appear in the bottom left corner of the screen
>Type "Screen Saver" to prompt the system to search for relevant items
>Click the first item, titled "Change Screen Saver"
I haven't the foggiest idea how retards like you end up here.
>>53915674
>starting with xp
Wasn't this board 18+?
>>53916150
Yeah I was like 25 yrs old when I had to use it the first time, retard.
>>53916328
You can't even change a screensaver. You shouldn't be calling anyone else a retard
>>53916366
I can change a screen saver, I am complaining how non-intuitive it is to find one you cucklord weeb
>>53915393
>screen savers
>not just having the screen turn off
why waste the power?
>>53916457
That would be ideal, but I have to service some of the computers on this site, and I was simply miffed that I couldn't find the screen saver right away to disable it.
>>53915435
>>53915447
You must be some kind of wizard or something!
OP was having such a hard time finding that, granted he has one full hand wrist deep up his own ass, because he can't use a feature that's been in windows for over ten years.
Windows searching wizard!
Microsoft is trying to get rid of screensavers because they're kinda extremely pointless today with LCD screens and portable devices. Not that I like it, but that's their reasoning.
>>53917608
Pajeet please go.
>>53917716
Makes sense. Thank you.
>>53917608
This feature has been accessible in the same way for 10 years?
wew
This is why they shouldn't let downs syndrome kids play in the computer lab unsupervised.
>>53917786
Windows Vista was released 9.5 years ago. It's not "over 10" but the internet is the home of comedic hyperbole, especially when it is directed at people like you.
>using a screen saver
>not just have the monitor go into standby
>>53917832
You're implying the screen saver was accessible in vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and now 10 in the same way.
Please kill yourself immediately,
>>53918111
It is, see >>53916020
I understand this is a hard concept for someone your age.
>>53918137
Top shitpost, lad.

This. The screen saver isn't very accessible because it's unnecessary since CRT monitors stopped being made.
