One of the best ways to keep your screen alive and interesting is by installing Windows 10 screensavers. And not just any screensavers, but the ones that look amazing. If you’ve got a touchscreen PC or laptop, you can even interact with some of these screensavers if they support touch interaction. Here are the best screensavers for your Windows 10 device.
- 3D Photo Screensaver
This is probably one of the best screensavers for windows 10 you can get, at least when it comes to showing off your photos. The 3D Photo Screensaver displays stunning images in a whopping 9 different transition modes and you only need to add your photos, no matter the size. There is a demo mode that allows you to preview images before adding them and they’re even sorted in categories so finding what you need is made easy.
- Gyroscope 3D
This screensaver displays mesmerizing gyroscope-like objects that roll around on your screen. It features a 3D parallax effect which gives the objects a pretty realistic look and feel – trust me, I’ve actually seen gyroscopes in real life and they do move exactly like these ones do.
- Night Sky 4K
If you want to relax with some soothing sounds, then this is the screensaver that you need. It doesn’t just display stars on your screen, but it also shows constellations and even planets if they’re visible in the night sky at that time. There are over 100 different high-definition images of the night sky and you can opt to run all of them or just a few. It is also possible to choose the time between images and there’s even a fade effect available if you fancy that. You can set it to display only during the night, too – this option might be useful for those living in big cities where nights are never truly dark.
- Spacecraft 3D Screensaver
Space is always cool when it comes to screensavers but this one takes the crown when it comes to displaying spacecraft models in amazing detail and animations. There are over 50 different types of space vehicles available and they all look absolutely gorgeous … even if they are fictional. You can opt to display one ship at a time or you can also opt for the full-screen mode so that five ships appear on your screen at once.
- Starfield 2
If you want an old-fashioned screensaver for your Windows 10 device, then Starfield 2 is the one for you. It uses high-quality images from real star fields and it even includes an old-looking alarm clock as a bonus.
- Flying Through Space
I really enjoyed watching the spaceship models in the previous screensaver but the thing I liked the most about them was how they moved. Flying Through Space shows ships moving in much the same way, if even more beautifully, to create a mesmerizing effect. Ships fly across your screen towards portals which can open or close at any given moment, so you never know when it’ll happen. You can also opt for the full-screen mode and if you like the 3D Touch interaction, then this one is for you.
- Classic Windows 3D Screensaver
This screensaver was available with older versions of Windows and it’s back now on Windows 10 PCs as an app. It works more like a theme than an actual screensaver but it’s really cool nonetheless. When you run it, your computer will start looking like Windows 3.1 which is sure to make some people happy while scaring others away. It doesn’t really serve any real purpose other than decoration and showing off how retro you are, but we still think it’s worth a try.
- Deep Space 3D Pro
If you like space and things that come from space, then this screensaver is the one for you. It’s similar to some of the other ones in our list because it displays stars and planets, but it’s different because it shows them all in 3D! The best thing about this one is that it also displays the Milky Way and the Earth so you can see exactly where we stand when it comes to our solar system. It feels like you’re actually exploring space and we think that alone justifies trying out this screensaver.
- Sky ScreenSaver
This is the screensaver to use if you want to get a birds-eye view of our planet, which is pretty self-explanatory when you think about it. The only option related to this one is whether or not you want to choose your own music, the rest is pretty much self-explanatory.
- Asteroid 3D Screensaver
This screensaver will definitely put you in an apocalyptic mood! As asteroids approach our planet and wipe out everything on it, all you can do is stare in horror and wait for your turn. The asteroids themselves look pretty realistic and so do the explosions when they hit the ground, so we think it’s worth checking out whether you like this kind of screensaver or not.
