Windows 10 stuck on screensaver

IF it's a laptop, replace the battery, reconnect the AC power and power it up and leave it alone for a while. NO other devices, no USB dongles for anything (wireless network, wireless keyboard, wireless mouse), no printers, no Ethernet connection, nothing but the bare minimum basics. In that condition, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. My standard non-techie response would be to turn off the computer, disconnect it from AC power, if it is a laptop remove the battery. On the upside it apparently boots and what you refer to as a 'screen saver' which I suspect is the lock screen cannot be dismissed by striking the space bar or by a mouse gesture would seem to indicate that neither of your two input devices are working.
