Screensaver not working...running 10.15.7

Hi - random out-of-the-blue issue, recently screensaver is not working and won't launch no matter what troubleshooting I do, or tests I run (I've used Fliqlo clock without issues for years, it's updated too).

No screensaver works at all, Apple or 3rd party, and I've made no system or setting changes to anything other than updated recently to the latest 10.15.7 Catalina for my older 2012 iMac.

Google and forum search is no help, seems to be a new issue.

Any help or advice? Thx - Michael

Startup in Safe Mode followed by a normal restart and then re-test the ScreenSaver.
