    Enable or Disable Picture-in-Picture Overlay in Microsoft Edge


    Enable or Disable Picture-in-Picture Overlay in Microsoft Edge [​IMG]
    You may already be familiar with the Picture-in-Picture overlay. It shrinks your viewing window and allows it to hover over any tab that you are currently on. This feature is especially useful if you like to watch something while working on the side. Microsoft allows you to view a video in this PiP (Picture-in-Picture) mode. In […]

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
     
  3. I can get only single pictures using picture gallery slideshow

    Hi Steve,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Let’s try simple steps and check if this helps. I suggest you to copy all the pictures in libraries picture folder.

    Lock screen picture overlays slideshow

    Hi, my issue with Windows 10x64 1803 Lock screen slideshow not working is a bit different than usual

    When the issue occurs (not always, but almost always), the screen shows the defined Picture (and no clock etc.) _however_ when I press Enter, before showing the lockscreen as the overlaying picture is sliding away I can see a flicker of the slideshow underneath.
    These are pictures from the correct folder and it looks as expected. After the flicker it shows the login screen with a picture

    (login screen is kinda OK but half the time accounts (two) are doubled (making it 4), they differ in that in each pair one of the user pictures has a circle shape and the other is square, and the square ones have extra text underneath "Windows will try to
    connect to {companyName}" .... I don't know if this is the cause or something completely unrelated ... but this question is about slideshow)

    I have done lot of the usual steps (most of these relate to slideshow not working at all which isn't my issue anyway):

    - remove the slideshow, lock, re-add it

    - rename the slideshow folder

    - changed settings in Power options (only Balanced is in the list) for Desktop background settings for battery to Available

    - adjusted Advanced settings for slideshow to show not fitting images, show on battery, show lockscreen instead of turning off

    - require user to press CtrlAltDelete is unchecked and disabled

    - Windows Search is set to Automatic and running

    - folder with images is indexed

    No Windows updates pending atm

    Restart didn't help

    Ideally if this can be solved without restoration or reinstall or something of that caliber hopefully

    Thank you!
