    20H2 Lock screen slide show will not work unless login attempt times out


    Steps to recreate:


    Lock screen is set to use a slide show/folder. Works once when the machine first goes to sleep, after waking it will just show the background picture instead and never start doing the slide show no matter how much time passes until it goes back to sleep again.


    Lock the screen, press enter for a login prompt, let it time out. Slide show now starts working. Obviously another lock screen/slide show bug that didn't get tested by your QA folks.

    :)

    problems in running slide show in lock screen


    Since switching to windows 10 from windows 8.2 I have had problems in running slide show in lock screen. The slide show will only operate when the screen timeout setting is set to 1 minute. All other time settings give a black screen at timeout. Am I missing something?

    Lock vs Login screen screenshot

    You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen
