Windows 10: Can the logon slideshow be used for the desktop??

Version #: 18362-476

I spend 12 hours a day on my PC 24/7 so like to have something on my desktop of interest. Thus I have the desktop set up for a slideshow of all the images from various folders (I change them routinely). I also do a similar thing for the logon BUT I notice that the logon slideshow is different - firstly it's a fixed interval of 15 secs, but then it also presents the images differently, sometimes singly & sometimes in blocks of 5, and finally has a progressive zoom feature.

What I wondered is whether there's any way to replicate that for the desktop images or is there a reason why it couldn't/shouldn't be done maybe?

Just curious
Thanks

"Lock Screen Slideshow" For The Desktop Slideshow


3rd party program like Wally (free), for example.

I use it to change wallpaper on each logon, but it can be set up in a variety of ways.
It can use pictures from disk, or a variety of other sources.
