Enable Screen Saver on Windows using Intune

In this article, we will show you how to enable screen saver on Windows using Intune. Using the Configuration Profile, you can apply a specific screen saver for Windows 11 and Windows 10 devices using Intune.

Most organizations prefer to use a branded screen saver that includes their company logo and information. If your company has a branded screensaver, you can assign the screensaver to your domain computers using a GPO. However, some businesses may not have their own screensaver. If this is the case, you can use the screensavers included with the Windows operating system.

A screen saver is a small program that runs on a Windows computer when it is idle for an extended period of time. On Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices, users can manually change the screen saver by going to Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen and selecting Screen saver settings. In the Screen Saver Settings window, you can click the drop-down list and select a screen saver.

If you do not want corporate employees to select and use their own screensaver, you can use Intune policy to force a screen saver on all devices. However, before you apply a screen saver policy, your Windows devices must be enrolled in and managed by Intune.

Location of Screensaver files on Windows 10/11

Both Windows 10 and Windows 11 come preinstalled with set of screensavers. On Windows 10 and 11 devices, the screen saver files are located in C:\Windows\System32 folder. Because the System32 folder contains several files, you will need to use the search feature to find all the screen saver files.

To locate the screen saver files on Windows devices, navigate to C:\Windows\System32 folder. In the search box, type *.scr, and this will list all the screensaver files present on the Windows computer. The file extension for Windows screen saver files is .scr.

If you are going to deploy a specific screen saver on Windows devices using Intune, you can either use one of these preinstalled screensavers or a branded screensaver made for your organization. In this article, we will apply one of the preinstalled screensaver to our Windows devices with Intune.

Note: You must make sure the screen saver is copied over to the C:\Windows\System32 folder or a dedicated shared folder if your company has a custom screensaver, and you want to use Intune to apply it to your Windows devices. This simplifies the application of the screen saver on Windows devices.

Windows Screen Saver Configuration Settings in Intune

When you plan to activate a screen saver on Windows devices using Intune, you’ll need to configure a few settings within the configuration profile. On Windows devices, the screen saver settings are included in Control Panel > Personalization. The following settings in the Intune admin center must be configured in the configuration profile to enable the screen saver on Windows.

Enable Screen Saver (User): This setting enables or turns on the screen saver on Windows devices. When this option is enabled, the option to change the Screen Saver in the Personalization or Display Control Panel is disabled. As a result, users will not be able to change the screen saver options as they become grayed out.

Screen Saver Timeout (User): Specifies the amount of user idle time required before the screen saver is activated. This idle time can be configured to range from 1 second to 86,400 seconds, or 24 hours. The screen saver will not start if this value is set to zero. This setting must be configured based on the needs of the company.

Force Specific Screen Saver (User): If you enable this setting, the system displays the specified screen saver on the user’s desktop. You must provide the path of the screen save file (.scr). By enabling this setting, users are also prevented from changing the screen saver on their Windows device.
