What is causing the screen saver to show a green screen on my MacBook Air?

Could use some help in figuring out why my selected screen saver doesn't always show up but this green screen does.

Screen Saver options greyed out after OS 13.5.2 update and restart After the update and restart to 13.5.2 on my 2022 M2 Macbook Air, I saw a black screen with a message that no Screen Saver was present. I opened System Settings/Screen Saver, selected a photo folder, decided to look for another folder, selected Ventura as "placeholder," but since then options are greyed out, only Preview is available. (I submitted a bug report, but maybe someone in our user community encountered and overcame this). How to restore Options?

gray Home Screen/wallpaper on iMac that will not change hello. I downloaded the new macOS last night. Everything was fine and dandy and the new screensavers/wallpaper were working great. this morning when I woke up the Mac it went to a gray wallpaper and it will not change. The screensaver works just fine but when I go back to the Home Screen it instantly goes back to the gray background. Ive reset it a few times already today. When I go into settings it shows that the wallpaper(Grand Canyon at dusk) is selected. when you tell it to go to the Lock Screen the screen saver instantly comes on and does it thing. this is driving me nuts. ive tried to change wallpapers and nothing will get the gray background off.
