Perhaps the articles with 'startup options' for Apple Silicon may help?

I found a fix without having to go through Safe mode:

Within System Settings > Screen Saver --> the panel below Classic , there is one panel labelled Ken Burns (with 27 others). I clicked that 1 panel labelled Ken Burns and immediate Classic switched to Ken Burns. And Screen Saver became Ken Burns mode.

That is exactly what I want to do, but there is NO option, nothing clickable,

only System Settings > Screen Saver > Classic ----> the end stop no choice no Ken Burns,

which is why I came here.

Restarting in Safe mode did not resolve the issue. I have not yet re-installed the macOS ventura.

Safe mode procedure seems a bit different with Apple M2.

Do I continue to to hold down Shift key even after being required to re-start a 2nd time?

If you aren't seeing this try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally.

Interesting. The instructions for Apple Silicon in the link I posted and the one Keith posted are exactly the same.

Glad you found it. That's what you were supposed to do before you tried Safe Mode. Safe Mode was only in case you didn't see the panels in the screen shot I posted.
