Describe the bug

After a recent windows major update and an update on visual studios app. Lively screensaver feature is not responding. Ii reinstalled the lively.scr file as well as restarted my system multiple times. Lively even notified about a .NET file needed to maintain the application's functions.

But it still doesn't work.

when the screensaver starts automatically or is manually activated, it just shows a blank black screen, while the desktop wallpaper mpv is active and running.

video recording and log files have been shared
