How to create a Windows 10 Screensaver?

[davidw7943330]

Hi,

I have been tasked with creating a company screen saver, I have created it using Photoshop CC and basically used the motion layout and exported to .MP4.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. I'm using Windows 10

Hi

You will need to convert your MP4 file to an SCR file. Search online for conversion software

Then copy the SCR file to C:\Windows\System32

Then in Windows open System Settings>Personalisation>Lock Screen>Screensaver settings and add it from the drop down list

Hi Dave,

This is great however will this work in Windows 10, have you tried?

A screen saver is basically an app, not a graphic. It has full powers and could carry malware. So it is subject to all the security protections that may block apps. Talk to your administrators, there is every possibility that they block screen savers by default. I know I would.
