Just tested the app mentioned here.
Wáy better than WinBubbles - if only for the fact you can't mess anything else up by just clicking ok where you should click 'set' ;)

So I set my bubbles to a small size, not transparent. Looks great ...
The first couple of minutes LOL.
Because when the screen get's filled with more and more of these marble like balls, they go haywire.
Running round like crazy, changing colour faster than the eye can blink etc.

Will try and capture a video of it later this week, because a screenshot doesn't show their frantic behaviour.
Gave me a good laugh though ;)

Edit: and when I push the slide for turbulence force to the left they all become grey balls. Don't know what that is about ???
Ants?
Just found out you shouldn't set the amount of bubbles too high either: will stop all motion when the screen is full, which kinda defeats the purpose a screensaver is for ... LOL
Used reset to get my screensaver back to normal, but that didn't help.
The screen get's full with bubbles and then all motion stops.
So I had to use WinBubbles to get my screensaver acting normal again.

Final verdict: System Screensavers Tweaker looks nice, but in fact it can really mess up your screensavers functionality.
I'll stick to WinBubbles.

Set them to follow the cursor. You will soon be throwing the computer out of the window, (no need for a screensaver then :)

LOL I forgot about those :)
Screensaver still isn't running properly. I've set up the photoscreensaver now.
Was wondering if it would it be possible to remove all registry entries concerning the bubbles screensaver
so after a reboot and setting the bubble screensaver again it would work normally again?
Don't feel like restoring an image over something as silly as a non functional screensaver!

Interesting, glad it did. Could you email the entries to me please.

Since I was a kid, I’ve always enjoyed sitting and watching my colorful screensavers. Sometimes I would trigger the screensaver on purpose in order to watch it. Although screensavers are not strictly needed anymore, I refuse to sacrifice this joy ?
If you’re like me and you love your screensavers, I’ll help you set up your screensaver in the right way and fix any issues that stop it from working. Let’s do it!
We’ll begin with some basic settings
Method I: Correct screensaver setup
So we will begin by checking your current screensaver settings and making sure you have everything set up right before we judge Microsoft for being responsible for the issue:
- Open your Settings app from the gear icon from your start menu.
- Click the Personalization icon.
- Click the Lock Screen tab from the left pane and at the bottom of the page, you’ll find Screen saver settings. Bit of a weird location for it, huh?
- The old-fashioned Screen Saver Settings window will appear and first thing we’ll need to do then is to choose one from the drop down list (choose anything other than None!). You can always click the Preview button in order to trigger it on purpose and see how it will look like.
- Now you’ll need to set the Wait time in minutes. The screensaver will be triggered automatically after this number of minutes. There is also an option that makes the computer go to the logon screen every time it wakes up from a screensaver (a useful option for security minded users).
- Now Click Apply then Ok and give it a try.
If you still get nothing, then the culprit may be the power options. Follow Method II in order to fix ’em.
Method II: Set your power options correctly
Well remember the last screen we were on in Method I? The Screen Saver Settings? So go back to that and…
- Click Change power settings. This is a shortcut for Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options.
- Here you can see the two essential power plans: Balanced and High Performance. There could be a Power saver option as well. I recommend that you repeat these next steps (3-7) for all the power plans you’re using. We will go for the Balanced one since it’s recommended.
- Once you picked a plan, click Change plan settings.
- Dive into more settings by clicking on Change advanced power settings.
- The Power Options pop-up windows will show up. Choose Restore Plan Default, it’s a good start in order to fix any messed up settings that might be affecting your computer performance in general and your screensaver in particular.
- Click Yes and then Ok in order to confirm the action.
- Now one important thing to do when you’re back to the control panel is to change your Turn off display time. The time your screen takes to get turned off must be longer than the one it takes to trigger the screensaver. This way, your computer will start the screensaver (let’s say after 5 minutes) and after, let’s say 10 minutes of inactivity, your computer will turn off the screen. Don’t forget to do this for both On battery and Plugged in modes in case of a laptop. Finally, click Save changes.
P.S. in Step 4, some online tutorials are suggesting changing the Desktop background settings > Slideshow to available instead of paused, but this is nonsense since it controls your desktop background and not your screensaver.
Now it’s time for troubleshooting
In case you followed the instructions in the previous section and you still have a problem running your screensaver, then one of the next troubleshooting methods will probably fix the issue. We’ll start with the fastest method and then continue to the longer ones so this will take you the minimal amount of time.
Method I: Unplug any suspicious devices
It’s pretty simple but critical. Some plugged devices, especially mouse and keyboard devices (including wireless ones) are performing faulty invisible actions: they keep sending some sort of signal to your computer which recognizes it as a user activity and hence, it won’t put itself into sleep mode or trigger your screensaver. In general, it is advised to clean your mouse sensor and mouse pad from time to time and keeping the headphones’ wire away from it, as the sensor is very sensitive. But to know for sure what the problem is now I suggest that you unplug all devices and wait for the screensaver, then return them one by one until you find the faulty one. If you found that this isn’t the issue, read on.
Troubleshoot power
Well, Windows Troubleshooter is currently better than ever and quite helpful, and the Power Troubleshooting tool is definitely worth trying. Here’s how you can use it to troubleshoot your screensaver problem:
- Go to your Settings app from the start menu (remember the gear icon?)
- Click Update & Security.
- Now choose Troubleshoot from the left menu and scroll down a little bit until you find the Power category. Click on it then on Run the troubleshooter in order to start our troubleshooting journey.
- The troubleshooter will immediately start detecting and fixing your issues if found. You can then give your computer a restart and give it a try. If it’s clean like mine and there’s nothing to fix, then continue to the next option.
Windows update/drivers
Many issues can be solved by updating to the latest version of Windows 10 and install the latest drivers for it. To do so, I suggest that you:
- Update your Windows using the Check for updates button. Check this article if you want to know more about updating your Windows.
- Update your drivers (especially the chipset one and any other power drivers) by downloading the latest ones from your PC’s motherboard manufacturer’s website or your laptop manufacturer’s website. Try that first, but if you have problems finding the drivers, we have a guide that will help you troubleshoot the current drivers.
Run SFC and DISM

These two tools are amazingly effective when it comes to fixing system issues. The system checking might take a while so be patient.
- Type “cmd” in your start menu, right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.
- Click Yes to give it permission.
- Type the following command and then press Enter:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
(note the spaces before each “/”).
- Type the following command then press Enter:
sfc /scannow

(make sure you put a space between “sfc” and “/scannow”)
Hopefully your screensaver now works. Let us know in the comments if you still have a problem.
Before we go: do you really need a screensaver?
Before ending this article, the little engineer inside me wanted to get this clear for you.
Flow Bubbles Screensaver Windows 10
Screen Savers were essential during the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors era and the era of Plasma monitors afterwards. CRT in general depended on the technology of a gun that shoots rays towards a panel of Phosphorus particles that are arranged as a grid (those are called pixels nowadays). When the phosphorus gets hit by the ray, it heats up until it emits light, which appears on the screen.

If you have a steady image on the screen, this is not good because focusing on the same phosphorus particles and keeping them hot which can cause them a permanent burn. That’s why a screensaver is really important because a moving image makes the gun hit different spots, so no overheating happens for a particular spot, so there’s no permanent burn.

Nowadays, we are relying on LCD screens, LED ones and other technologies that are mainly based on pixels or little LEDs that get turned off and on. This has nothing to do with phosphorus or heat so moving images or steady ones make no big difference. Hence, a screen saver is nowadays not really saving anything.
