Dear Friends,
we had deployed a gpo for a custom screen saver using an unc path
not getting screen saver applied on windows 11 version22 however it is working in Windows 10 all systems and all server also
when I run rsop.msc and gpresult screen saver policy is showing applied on efffected systems also but not getting the screen saver
Note: our server is hosted on Azure, there is no access issue on both ends we can access the screen saver path from Windows 11 also.

Hi Sufiyan Ahmed,
Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.
May I ask what policy setting did you set for screen saver?
Could you please share the setting name with us to check?
If you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,
Daisy Zhou
Hii Daisy,
I applied GPO using the user configuration panel in the default domain policy
and allowed the below policies
load a specific screen saver, force screen saver, screen saver timeout, password protected screen saver, enable screen saver, prevent changing screen saver.
also used a UAN path for my file and I can access the file from all users systems
only not getting in win11 ver22h2
Hi Sufiyan Ahmed,
Thank you for your reply.
Based on the information, I understand you configured user configurations.
Could you please share the whole setting name with us to check? Please also share the screenshot of configuration.
You can run below command to collect gpresut to check if the GPO applied to the user successfully:
For checking User Configurations within gpresult, we can follow steps below.
Logon the machine using normal domain user account (that applies this gpo).
Create a folder named F1 in C drive.
Open CMD (do not run as Administrator).
Type gpresult /h C:\F1\gpo.html and click Enter.
Open gpo.html and check if there are these gpo settings under "User Details".
If you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,
Daisy Zhou
Hii Daisy,
thanks for your support pls find the below attachment
as we can see the policy is successfully applied on the win11 system also at the user end but not working.
Hi Sufiyan Ahmed,
Good day!
I saw some configurations are applied to your client.
Please share the whole setting name of the problematic policy with us.
I can see the settings below on both working user and non-working user are the same.
Meanwhile, I can see below setting Under Computer Configurations\Policies\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Customization on non-woring machine:

Hii Daisy,

for the lock screen, we know it will not work on Win Pro versions and other
is there any same for the screen saver regarding Windows versions compatibility as we can see, the screen saver is working on all Windows 10 systems and servers but it is not working on wins11 vh22.
