Best Windows 10 Screensavers To Keep Your Screen Alive And Interesting

While there are times when Windows 10 screensavers are useful, especially if you have a touchscreen display or an older computer that doesn't support touch input, they might also be annoying for some users. Screen savers are mostly designed to "babysit" your PC while you're away from it. However, having the screensaver running at all times is frustrating, especially if you're not planning to use the computer for some time.

However, Windows 10 is different from its previous versions in one way: it allows you to set a timer that will automatically terminate screen savers after a specific amount of time. In this article we compiled for you a list of best screensavers for Windows 10 and how to set a timer (if available) for each of them.

Best part is, the majority of screensavers we've selected won't cost you anything or require any type of installation process. You can download and use them right away with no strings attached, however some screensavers do need to be downloaded first before you can use them.

1) 3D Text Screen Saver

This is probably the most popular screensaver of all time because it's simple, fast and easy to setup. This screensaver will display random messages on your desktop using letters made out of 3D. Just like magic! The Best Part? You don't need to go through long and complicated settings to adjust it. So hit the download link below and install it on your Windows 10 computer.

2) Displays of the World

Easily one of my favorite screensavers for Windows, showing you photographs of well known landmarks from around the world. The application itself is extremely simple and all it does is that it cycles through the photos and displays them on your desktop. A great way to keep you informed about what's going on around the globe while keeping things simple and beautiful.

3) Lo-Fi Screensaver

This screensaver is a lot similar to the 3D Text one, however it displays text in a different way. Instead of letters made out of 3D, this screensaver takes blurry images and makes you guess what words they form together. You can switch between different languages as well, making it much more interesting to use.

4) Relaxing Ocean Waves

If you like watching the waves when you're relaxing on the beach, this screensaver is probably for you. It's exactly what it sounds like, images of ocean waves with peaceful music in the background. If you want to relax while at work, instead of listening the typical office music you can just turn this screensaver on and it will do all the magic.

5) Starfield

If you're into science fiction, especially Star Wars, than this screensaver is definitely for you. With a full view of space and planets, this screensaver will definitely make you feel like you're right there in one of your favorite Sci-Fi movies. However if it's too much for you, or maybe because you don't believe the earth is round – I have a perfect solution for you as well!

6) Windows XP

If you're missing the good old days when your computer used to be actually useful, if you have some nostalgic feelings or just want to have fun with this screensaver, then I highly recommend downloading it. It will totally transport you back in time into a world of simplicity and harshness.

7) Flurry

This screensaver is a lot different from all the others because instead of displaying a photo or a text, it actually shows a video. A time-lapse video of snow falling outside your window in real life. A great way to relieve some stress and feel like you're somewhere else.

8) Rainy Day

The weather is getting bad, but at least you have this screensaver to keep you company. It displays a beautiful rain falling outside your window with thunder and lightning in the background, adding more life for this screensaver.

9) Space Battles

Are you a fan of Star Wars? Are you a fan of outer space in general? Then I have the perfect screensaver for you! This application will show you a fully interactive battle in space with a lot of different weapons, explosions and 3D models.

10) Earth Wind Fire

Did you ever feel like listening to some good music while looking at nice images of nature? Well, this screensaver is perfect for that. It shows images of beautiful landscapes with great soundtracks in the background. It's not only great to relax while working but also if you just want to be in a different place for some time.
