screen saver not working after Ventura

I am sure my screensaver was working fine until the update to Ventura 13.1 So frustrating.

My screen saver using Photos finally worked in Ventura 13.0.1, but link broken again (screen saver cannot use Photos) after 13.1 update.

The problem seems to have solved itself after shutting down for the night, and rebooting this morning. Screen saver can now access Photos again.

Reboot it.

I should've thought of that, but forgot this ancient trick. As said above, when I booted the following morning (I always shut down my Mac at night), all was normal again.

I should have considered that, but I overlooked this old method. As previously stated, everything went back to normal when I booted the next morning (I usually shut down my Mac at night).

wtf?
