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.

This happened once before recently. Any screen saver that shows photos from a folder, while showing them in the tiny preview, just shows a black screen when activated.
I just updated and now no photos show anymore when screen saver is activated.
What I've noticed is that it always works correctly the first time it's triggered after a reboot; after that, it's mostly broken.
That makes sense. I've been pushing my studio hard this week so I have been in the habit of shutting down every night. Thanks for sharing!
Yes. Unplugging my second monitor fixed it… but only temporarily.
True! I spoke with Apple senior support today. They are aware of this issue although the support staff may not all be in that loop. Hopefully the next update will resolve it.
What is best way to get a complaint/suggestion to someone at Apple who will actually care?
Me too
Seriously, who has time to do a reinstall that might not even fix the problem, this is clearly a bug from the new update. Apple should please fix it.
This isn't limited to photo based screensavers, but screensavers in general I think. I'm not using a photos screensaver and I have this problem.
As I've said, it's all legacy screensavers, a model that older ones use, including many of Apple's.
I agree. I tried all the other screensavers and none of them works. Not even the power management options like "turn display off" option is not working.
Screen savers that use images show a black screen. Screen savers that show a graphic effect or album covers work as expected. An experience that deviates from this is another issue.
That is always how screen saver was, so that is not the problem...
Unbelievable. I thought I was The only one. NO SCREENSAVER ON PHOTOS! WORKING ON IT FOR DAYS! EXACT SAME PROBLEM.!! NOT ONLY ME!

Apple do you read this? So many people are upset about this. Please fix asap.
We all are annoyed at Apple
