Setting Screensaver to Monitor 1 on Windows 10

Setting a Screensaver on Monitor 1 in Windows 10

The screensaver feature in Windows 10 is a handy tool that can help prevent burn-in on your monitor and also add a personal touch to your PC. In this article, we will go over the steps to set a screensaver on monitor 1 in Windows 10.

Accessing the Screensaver Settings

To access the screensaver settings in Windows 10, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on an empty space on the desktop.
2. Select Personalize from the context menu.
3. In the Personalization window, click on Lock screen in the left-hand menu.
4. Scroll down to the Background dropdown menu and select Picture or slide show.
5. Click on the Screen saver settings link below the dropdown menu.

Setting the Screensaver for Monitor 1

Once you have accessed the screensaver settings, you will see a dropdown menu labeled Screen saver. This is where you can select the screensaver you want to use for monitor 1. After selecting your desired screensaver, you can adjust the settings for that screensaver by using the options below the dropdown menu.

To set the screensaver for monitor 1 only, you will need to use the Change power settings button at the bottom of the window. This will open the Power Options window, where you can adjust the settings for your power plan.

In the Power Options window, click on Change plan settings next to the power plan you are currently using. This will open the Edit Plan Settings window, where you can adjust the settings for your power plan.

Click on Change advanced power settings at the bottom of the window. This will open the Power Settings window, where you can adjust the advanced settings for your power plan.

In the Power Settings window, expand the Display option and then expand the Monitor option. Under the Monitor option, you will see two settings: Turn off monitor and Turn off monitor (DC). These settings control when your monitor turns off to save power.

To set the screensaver for monitor 1 only, you will need to adjust the settings for the Turn off monitor (DC) option. This option controls when the monitor turns off when the computer is running on DC power (i.e., when it is plugged in).

To set the screensaver for monitor 1 only, set the Turn off monitor (DC) option to Never. This will prevent the monitor from turning off when the computer is running on DC power, allowing the screensaver to run indefinitely on monitor 1.

• To access the screensaver settings in Windows 10, right-click on an empty space on the desktop, select Personalize, click on Lock screen in the left-hand menu, and then click on the Screen saver settings link.
• To set the screensaver for monitor 1 only, use the Change power settings button in the screensaver settings to open the Power Options window, and then adjust the settings for the Turn off monitor (DC) option in the Power Settings window.
