#Windows 10 screensaver not working update#

If you read the knowledge base article this update fixes two issues:ДЎ)В Addresses an issue that may prevent the use of the Seek Bar in Windows Media Player when playing specific files. The first was a Windows update marked KB4471332. Over the last weekend there were two updates that I installed. I want to see if I can produce a solution to work around this problem as sort ofВ personal challenge. I also look at this problem as an opportunity to work with powershell. I'm sure it ranks very low on their list, I'm not even sure it's on their list. I want to add some logic so whenever I start P3D my devices automatically enable, and when I close P3D they automatically disable.В I'm almost finished with it. When these devices are disabled the screensaver works as expected and my display turns off as expected.

I've already written a very simple powershell script which disables my Thrustmaster HOTAS joystick and throttle, Saitek rudder pedals, and xbox 360 game pad. Granted I could hit the Windows Key + L to lock my workstationВ and I could press the power button on my display but I don't always remember to do so andВ I shouldn't have to either.В This basic functionality has been built into Windows since Windows 3.1.В This issue might seem trivial but itВ bugs the of me. Ever since this bug appeared my computer just sits logged in forever. After an hour Windows would turn off the display which doesn't happen either as long as my joysticks are plugged in.

I used to be able to just walk away from my computer, after 30 minutes the screensaver would come on,В when I return, I would move the mouse and my workstation would be locked. It really bugs me that I've had to deal with this Windows bug for over a year now. First off I tend to be a little OCD about this kind of stuff. Any suggestions or recommendations are most welcome.

I have the latest chipset drivers installed for my motherboard. I've checked and installed the latest driversВ for all devices. Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog joystick and throttle Intel Core i7 4960X x79-Deluxe motherboard Here is a breakdown of my hardware configuration in case it helps: ect.)ДЄnyways I was just wondering if I'm the only guy experiencing this issue or if its more widespread. (I'm sure you all have read about the deleting of users documents, and the zip handlingВ issues, and the Windows Media Player playback bar issue, and the Intel drivers issues ect. Especially with the train wreckВ that is the Windupdate.

Windows 10 as a service has really worked well for Microsoft. However this is no good because Windows 10 is so aggressive about automatically updating itself to the latest version.

Unplug all my devices after I'm done flying.Дў.

So far I have only found two solutions to this problem.ДЎ. If any one of these devices are plugged in no screensaver. I have a Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog joystick and throttle, Saitek rudder pedals andВ I also occasionally use anВ Xbox 360 game pad for PC. I just never starts after the allotted time period. As soon as I plug them back in, no more screensaver. If I unplug my joystick, rudder pedals, and gamepad the screensaver starts no problem. However I still cannot get the screensaver to start. This last weekend I nuked my entire computer and upgraded to Windand installed Prepar3D v4.4 and all my addons. This issue first started with Windows 10 1803. I was wondering if anyone else out there has experienced anВ issue with Windor greater where if they have any type of joystick or game pad plugged into their computer the screensaver will not start.
