Ventura 13.3 broke my screensaver--

Upgraded last night. Now screen saver won't appear on the main display, just on the extended display. After a while, the words "No Picture" appear on the main display.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.3

No response, so far. Today I tried physically switching my iMac and external monitor, and that did not help. However, after I had switched everything back with a little help from BetterDisplay, the screensaver worked on both, once, after the initial startup. Second attempt was back to the "No Photos" on the iMac. Screensaver setting shows only the iMac, whereas the Displays Setting shows both. Looking forward to 13.4.

Having a similar issue. I have Brooklyn installed as my screen saver. It still displays, but is now in the corner and half cropped. I am using 2 external monitors on a Studio (One with Type C, one with HDMI) one of which has a vertical orientation. I have tried removing and installing Brooklyn again but issue persists. Hoping this gets patched or a solution posted.

Same problem here - I unplugged my second monitor, plugged it back in and all was well, for a while. Now the main monitor is blank again. I called Apple Support and was told they are aware of it and working on it for an update. Unplugging the second monitor also solved my disappearing Search window, but don't know for how long. How hard can it be to figure these things out Before an update? Likewise, how hard can it be for Apple Photos to have "Select all"-"Shuffle"-"Play Slideshow" like every other photo application?? Sheesh.

Same issue for me. I have a Studio display as my main monitor. No photos on the main, but they do show up on the secondary monitor (LED Cinema) I did the Studio display firmware update the day after updating to Ventura 13.3. Unfortunately, I didn't notice if the screensaver stopped showing on the main display before or after the firmware update...
