Screen Saver issue

I just installed Ventura 13.3.1 on my iMac with dual monitors, now when screen saver starts, the additional monitor shows photos correctly, but the iMac scren shows "no photos". The screen saver is pointed to the correct folder (it only allows you to point t one folder) and the additional monitor is clearly displaying the folder

iMac (2017 – 2020)

Screen Saver not displaying on all displays I had to reinstall Ventura recently and now I'm having issues with my screensaver. I'm using thee compatible monitors with my Mac Studio (2022). In the screensaver settings pane, the folder I have always used (and previously used with Ventura before the reinstall) for my screensaver images also won't display when "preview" is selected, even after re-selecting the style for how to display the photos. However, when I select a screensaver that is native to the OS (such as the orange petals) it works just fine and will preview them to all three screens. When the screensaver does work, it will only display the photos to one screen and the remaining two screens display nothing or (at times) the phrase "No Photos" only. Nooooo clue how to resolve this.

Update of Ventura to 13.3 Broke Use of Photo Albums as Screensavers Update to Ventura 13.3 partially broke the use of Photo Albums as Screensavers on my 2017 iMac Retina 4K with an extended display. They show on the extended display but state "No Photos" on the iMac. Only happens when choosing which folder to to display. Apple screensavers work on both screens.

My screen saver has suddenly stopped showing pictures on my imac though they still appear on my second monitor I currently have a 2019 27in IMac with Ventura, Ventura OS, and just the other day I noticed that the photo wall screen saver was no longer working on my IMAc though it still continued to function on a secondary monitor which is attached to the IMac. I have tried to reset all the settings for the screen saver and for both the IMac and the second monitor, but all I get is the screen saver with photos on the second monitor and a black screen on the IMac and an error message that says No Photos. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated
