Hi Copilot , how can i activate the lower resource usage screen saver like for example , the "Bubbles" screen saver in a Windows 10 machine ? THANKS Copilot .

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer

Perfect choice — the “Bubbles” screensaver is built into Windows 10 and uses far fewer resources than 3D aquarium-style ones. Here’s how you can activate it:

🖥️ Steps to enable the Bubbles screensaver in Windows 10

1. Right-click on your desktop and select Personalize
2. In the left sidebar, click Lock screen
3. Scroll down and click Screen saver settings (you’ll see this link near the bottom)
4. In the Screen Saver Settings window:
   • From the drop-down menu, select Bubbles
   • Adjust the Wait time (how long the PC must be idle before the screensaver starts)
   • If you don’t want to log back in after the screensaver, uncheck the box that says “On resume, display logon screen”
5. Click Apply, then OK

✅ Why Bubbles is a good choice

• It’s lightweight compared to animated aquarium screensavers
• Uses simple graphics, so it won’t stress your GPU or CPU
• Built into Windows 10 — no need to download anything extra
• Still adds a nice visual effect when your monitor is idle

Would you like me to also show you how to set the screensaver to start immediately (instead of waiting for idle time), so you can trigger Bubbles anytime you want?
