Hello

I recently upgraded my Windows 11 from 22H2 to 24H2 and on the older version I loaded a free screensaver but since this new version of windows it is gone (obviously) - I have still got the windows.old folder - it there anyway I can look in some the folders there to maybe see the name of the screensaver - I forget the name.

Click to expand...




The screen savers are in the: C:\\Windows\\System32 folder.
If you have the folder sorted by: type ...then the screen saver files (they end in .scr),
will be all the way at the bottom of the System32 folder.


...and ten cookies for filling out your computer specs. :-)

Unsure if I understood correctly:

Pictures -> Photos (all picture files)
Personalize -> Screen Saver Settings -> Photos (above path)
