LoL Screensaver Error

I'm not exactly sure what is happening but I am not sure how to open back up the LoL Screensaver application after i used it once because it keeps coming up with errors such as: Unable to start screensaver. Switch --lol-launcher required. Anyways if any of you guys know the solution it would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

Same thing happening to me. This gave me two viruses right after i downloaded the screen saver. Ran scans and had two from that file. Uninstalled and now getting those error messages.

I 'uninstalled' from the control panel and it still tries to run the screen saver even though the files don't exist on my computer anymore.

Pretty much, I won't move my mouse for about 30 seconds and it blue screens with an error message:

"League of Legends Screen Saver: Could not find the screen saver executable in the following location. C:\Riot Games\LoLScreenSaver\browser\screensaver.exe"

Yeah, you can't find the executable because I uninstalled you.

This error message is now my new screen saver which takes me out of other games and crashes them. Pretty annoying!

Wait - can't believe I never thought about this - turns out all you have to do, if you encounter this, is to search up Screen Saver Settings and toggle off "League of Legends' from the screen saver drop down menu. Hope my stupidity helps others.
