Free Matrix Screensaver Windows 10
Go to the screensaver settings and under the Music tab, browse and select the C:windowssystemMatrix-ks.txt file. Under a new 'Web Window' tab in the Settings window there's a COOL, new feature: the 'web window'. There are hundreds of Matrix-style screensavers available online. However, many are not free and many come packed with a virus to keep you busy, repairing your computer, on the weekend! Here is a free screensaver that comes with some nice extra features. The screensaver takes your username and, in true Matrix style, delivers you a message.
Matrix Screensaver is a small and simple app which displays the raining-green-text effect from The Matrix.
It's an open-source product, and just about as stripped back as it could be. The entire download is only 131KB, and that's still enough to squeeze in both 32 and 64-bit editions.
There's no installation required, and no settings or options. Simply double-click the .SCR file to see the effect, and press a key or move the mouse to make it disappear.
If you're happy with the results, right-click the SCR file and click Install. The regular Screen Saver applet appears, and you can set the idle time before you'd like the program to kick in.
Type screensaver in the Windows Search box to return to the applet later, or enter control desk.cpl,screensaver,@screensaver in the Win+R run box.
Verdict:
Matrix Screensaver is extremely basic, just a single raining-green-text effect which you can't tweak in any other way.
On the plus side, it looks reasonable, is tiny and doesn't have any adware or other unwanted extras. Take a look.
A small and fast Windows screensaver featuring the green 'Matrix' cipher-code seen in the popular films by the same name, directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski and starring Keanu Reeves, among others. Optionally, you can add messages to be decoded and displayed in real-time. The color, size and speed of the green 'rain' can also be customized.

Ok this seems to work..;)
This Matrix screensaver is only 90k and runs efficiently. It has a good selection of settings. I copied the matrix.scr file to my C:WindowsSysWOW64 folder and it runs fine in Windows 10 64-bit. Multiple monitors are supported. This is a good choice.
Great screensaver. Tons of settings. Absolutely get this if you're looking for a Matrix screensaver.
This is an awesome screensaver. It's free, has support for multiple monitors and has a wide range of settings to change, including text color and font. I recommend this screensaver for those looking for a good matrix screensaver that has multi monitor support. Thumbs up from me!
