All the tasks I am getting from Einstein@home has no Graphics. This is very dissapointing, as screensaver is one of the best motivator to keep running this project.
My laptop has Intel Core i5- 8250U CPU with 16GB of RAM and AMD R5 M330 discrete GPU. Is it just me or this is a general issue?

you might try reading and posting in this thread instead:
My graphics were working fine... But now the option is not highlighted, I'm not sure if I inadvertently changed a setting could it be I have my CPU GPU set at 100%?? any suggestions...with a Geology/Physics background I did enjoy looking at the graphics time to time...not as a screen saver. my machine runs 24/7 dedicated to 4 projects. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge will comment. I was able to view graphics but no longer can... and if your enjoyment is looking at the graphics...so be it at the cost of some flops...you are still contributing.

Start at the beginning and check that Einstein is still your screensaver of choice and that a Windows update hasn't changed it for you. Also make sure the actual *.scr file is there as well and not been moved, changed or renamed to something other than what you have selected as your current screensaver.
Then check the timings of when you want the screensaver to come on and show it's stuff, ie 1 minute of inactivity, 10 minutes etc and then give it time to happen and see if it does. If it doesn't change it to a Windows provided one and see if that works, if so it could be a problem with the Einstein *.scr file itself and someone will have to help you figure out how to download it manually to replace your damaged one.
Yes, BOINC is still my screensaver and Einstein computation page comes in the screensaver as set in the system as usual. I don't have any other projects running in BOINC. So, its not a problem with screensaver setting.
It's just that the sphere screensaver of Einstein is not coming. None of my task has graphics, as I can see from the commands window in Advanced View. So, its not a Windows problem but a problem with Einstein/ the tasks I am getting.
There are apps within einstein@home which offer graphics output, others don't. If an app, resp. a corresponding task doesn't support graphics output, the button "show graphics" in the task tab of BOINC's manager is disabled. This graphics output has to be configured server-side by the project team within the app configuration (XML configuration, workunit generation). Running BOINC on Windows OS there are one or two executables per 'app'. (I don't know about Linux, MacOS). There is the science app executable and (PERHAPS optionally) an additional graphics executable. There is some kind of parametrization to let the graphics executable draw some arrow/destination pointer to the region in the celestial sphere where current task "looks" at. BOINC's screensaver runs the same graphics executable showing a fullscreen output. If there's no graphics executable configured in the task's corresponding app, then Windows screensaver won't show the rotating celestial sphere; maybe black screen only...
Currently there are only O3MD1 CPU tasks distributed to clients which do not offer graphics output, while previously FGRP5 and BRP4X64 tasks offered graphics. I'm not sure about GPU tasks (FGRPB1G, BRP4), if these offer graphics (eventually counter-productive: using GPU cycles for computation and graphics rendering in parallel).
So, in some weeks the current O3MD1 science run will be finished, then hopefully there will be different tasks distributed to clients which again will offer graphics.
