Set up screen saver in Windows 11

You can set a screen saver in Windows 11 just like in previous versions of Windows.

Screen savers still have a lot of use today. Where in the past screen savers were mainly used to prevent screen burn-in, nowadays screen savers are used more to personalize the computer. Screen burn-in is no longer directly relevant with today's modern LCD and LED screens, although it still occurs.

There are many more benefits to setting up a screen saver. For example, screen savers can help save energy if you set the screen saver to shut down the computer after a period of time disables certain inactivity.

Screen protection can also help by providing privacy. It is possible to set a password after activating the screen saver. This prevents you unauthorized access to your computer.

What most people use screen savers for is to personalize their computer. This can be done by a big clock set or by a background with personal set images. This makes the screen saver your own.

Set up screen saver in Windows 11

To get started, open the settings. In the settings, click on “personal settings”. In the personal settings, click on “lock screen”.

Then click on “screen saver” at the bottom of the related settings.

You can now choose to set a screen saver. You can choose from the following types of screen savers:

• (No)
• Bubbles
• Photos
• Empty
• Ribbons
• Mysticism

Almost all types of screen savers have their own effect. You can then personalize these effects by clicking on the “Settings” button.

To activate a screen saver after a certain period of time has elapsed, change the “Wait” box to the desired time. This is the time when the computer is idle. The screen saver will only become active after this time has elapsed.

Once you have adjusted all screen saver settings to your liking, click the “preview” button to display the screen saver.
