Screen goes black every 60 seconds

[Senna]

A year ago Wallpaper Engine popped up on startup as always but it asked me if I wanted to set up the screen that pops up when your mouse is idle for awhile. I said yes but didn't realize I didnt set the time so now it happens every 60 seconds. I dont remember what I pressed or how to turn it off. I also can't do it in Windows because i've had "Activate WIndows" in the bottom right of my screen since I got this PC 9 years ago & I get ♥♥♥♥ for it daily so pls jsut focus on Wallpaper engine lmao ;-;

Edit; I pressed Remove Screensaver, it just deleted the photo i was using, the screen still blacks out unless the mouse is moving

Open the Windows screensaver settings and set the screensaver to "None". That disables it fully instead of showing your a blank screen for a screensaver (you probably just selected no wallpaper in Wallpaper Engine as your screensaver but Windows will still launch the screensaver).

Ah, thats why I brought up the Activate Windows - I cant make any changes to Windows because it thinks I didn't put in a key & I just kind of accepted it
Thank you though, I will accept my new fate of black screen as well

Are you sure about that, I think it's always possible to disable the screensaver even when Windows is not activated. Try this:

1. Open Wallpaper Engine.
2. Hover over the "Installed" tab, then select "Configure Screensaver".
3. Towards the upper left corner of the window, there is a button that says "Settings & Preview", if the window is small then it may just show you the Windows logo. Click on this button. It should now open the screensaver settings and you should be able to disable the screensaver there by setting it to "None".

If this was not possible, you could have never enabled it in the first place, so I am fairly sure you can disable it this way. Wallpaper Engine never enables the screensaver automatically, so you must have done it manually for sure.
