Monterey 12.4 Screen Saver

Ever since updating to 12.4 I've lost my screen saver. I always just used the included Monterey screen saver with pics of the Monterey area. However, now, I can't even point the screen saver preferences to them. It's like they were taken off my computer in the update. How do I recover the default screen savers?

See if the issue is the same in Safe Mode. Then start up in normal mode to see if the issue persists.

Open your Photo app. Wait for it to finish updating the library. Then go back to Screen Saver preference. You should now be able to see "Photo Library..." as an option. Then, you need to wait a while for the photos and/or albums to be populated. My library has 52,091 photos, it took about 3 minutes to see all my photos/albums there in the Screen Saver preference.


Hope this fix yours too.
