It's not clear what elements you're referring to.

Strictly speaking, you must have copyright or authorization for all the resources you use in a game you upload to Itch, but it's not even clear to me what you want to do.

Upload a game? Share an image? Share the 3d maze screensaver application?

If your idea is to redistribute the "3d maze" application with an image created by you, we're talking about a red flag, a Microsoft application, although old, will surely have copyright (I don't think it is this, because surely an application for Windows 95 will give many problems to run on a current Windows).

In practice, I doubt that Microsoft cares about that copyright, but legally, you wouldn't have the right.

I don't know if it's time (I'm dead tired), but I can't understand exactly what you want to share

Well, I'm just talking about a render, not an application, and my concerns are the textures I used which are textures from the original screensaver. Also why would you think I'd post the original screensaver?!

Showing a render with that texture is not a problem, it's like showing a screenshot of the screensaver.

The problem is if you're going to redistribute the texture within a game or as part of a pack, especially if you're going to sell it. Strictly speaking, it could be a problem, although in this case I highly doubt it, I don't think Microsoft or the owner of the rights to that image are looking for people to use their texture to send them a "Cease and desist".

So having a render of an object, with the texture, shouldn't be a problem.

Still, it's important to note that some images are more problematic than others, for example, using the red cross.
