enable windows screensaver in fullscreen mode

Hi,

i need to enable my windows screensaver in fullscreen mode. I am running Oculus as primary and only display, and i want to turn on screensaver if there is no input. This works in windows, but when i am running some fullscreen application, then i cant suddenly go in screensaver.

I realize this question is concering more with windows then with oculus, but i would like to know if it is possible.

So how to enable screensaver in fullscreen mode in windows?

    If I am understanding you correctly, you want to be able to have your screensaver be enabled when you're in a fullscreen application, ie: a game?

    It would be better to turn off the display rather than use a screensaver, which is under power management settings. I can't test it nor how to set it up currently as I am rift-less atm.

    thanks for reply.
    I have tried this already, but turning display off during run of any application in fulscreen mode is not allowed. Same as screensaver. But i think there must be some solution to this...
