Using deskscapes as screensaver doesn't work in Windows 11

from Stardock Forums

I am running deskscapes newest version on two PCs, both running Windows 11 with latest update installed. On one PC, the deskscapes background runs just fine as both the monitor background and as the screensaver (same Dream for both). On the other, the same dream runs just fine as the desktop, but the screensaver does not work- the screensaver just doesn't ever kick in. Tried other dreams, same result. All other screensavers installed work just fine.  Can't even preview the deskscapes screensaver, nor adjust the settings. When I click on the deskscapes screensaver in the change screensaver window, the little picture in the monitor stays black. All other screensavers show the proper picture in the little window. I ran DISM and scannow, both show no peoblems. Can anyone help?

Nope.  didn't work.  As a matter of fact, my pc said the zip file was bad and my deskscapes was not removed.  I uninstalled and did a clean reinstall, but despite the preview working, deskscapes does not activate in win 11

I got it to work, for a while.  Now, for the past few months, I cannot use the deskscape wallpaper for ONLY screensaver.  It insists I apply to ALL monitors, and so, I cannot use a different photo for my background on win 11
