No, the PC just turns off the monitor.
I miss Starfield.
The days using windows 98, xp, windows 7 did have screensavers. These day I just turn off the monitor. I use to have this 3D Tropical island that was very nice. Some really good ones at the time.

No. If I am afk then the monitor just goes to sleep. Better for the screen longevity and cheaper as it doesn't use power
What? No? --What? Why would you ask that? You're being weird, hexus
Not since before Win XP
Not since... what? 2005? Screensavers don't make sense on TFT displays, it's better just to let the OS send the standby signal to the monitor.

What is it)?
I didn’t use a screensaver until recently when I went through some really old files I had and found The Matrix Trilogy Screensaver. I just had to try it out again and is now using it for the cool effects. But after an hour the screen shuts down.
Can still get it, no?
Unbend a coathanger and dangle a little model of the Enterprise over the middle of your screen, and you're good to go, eh!

Nope just careful screen off timers. They served a purpose a while ago - might still serve a purpose in a business environment ie. log off user and/or require a password again
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
yes .Soundspectrum
Nope, just switch the monitor off if I'm away from my machine and it's doing something. If it's not running some sort of task I just shut it down. With boot up and shutdown times being only around 20 seconds with an SSD, there's really not much reason to leave a machine idling any more.
Yup! I still use them. Just looks better around the office than blank screens everywhere.
