    There really is no need for them any more which is probably whey you are having a hard time finding any. LCD monitors don't suffer from the burn-in effects near as much as older CRT monitors did. Plus monitor and computer sleep modes work better in terms of preventing burn-in and naturally, in conserving energy too. And of course, bad guys have been known to embed malware in screen savers too. For these reasons, most users don't use them anymore and therefore, as noted here, Microsoft has relegated them to a small, hard to find control panel in W10.

    Because of that, I don't know of any 3rd party screen savers that are guaranteed to be 100% safe (in terms of security, or any other reason). If you really want to use a screen saver, I recommend just using one of those Microsoft provided.
