Something is wrong with the "Start gPhotoShow" and "Control Screen Saver" app. The former displays a white rectangle icon which loads an unopenable "scr" file. Its location in C:\Windows it's "gPhotoShow64.scr".
The latter has a reddish tv-lookalike icon which does nothing when I try to open it. In Program Files it is named as "ControlSS64.exe".
I've uninstalled and reinstalled gPhotoShow pro and still have the same problem.
Windows 11, up-to-date; Asus Zenbook 16s.
I use the screensaver which works automatically as it should after 5 minutes idle time.
Any ideas, folks?

Re: Bug in app
Hello,
the shortcut "Start gPhotoShow Screen Saver" is correctly linked to c.\windows\gPhotoShow64.scr
That file is the gPhotoShow Pro screen saver. Normally windows runs it since scr is a file extension for executable files just like exe
It is possible that your system's antivirus is preventing you from running a screen saver directly, or that the file associations are simply configured incorrectly.
"Control Screen saver" (controlss64.exe) is small utility that has no main window, it has only a small icon in the windows system notification area:
Right click on it to see its context menu.
