Lock screen can be set to slideshow with the help of the steps below on every Windows normal version, you can try the same steps on your Windows 10 (IOT).

1. To change the lock screen to slideshow, you can go to
   Settings > Personalization > Lock screen.
   
2. From the Background drop down option, select
   Slideshow.
   
3. Click on Add a folder and select the image folder you have.
   

To change the Slide time to 6 seconds, you can make the changes from the registry.

1. Open registry navigate to
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lock Screen
   
2. Right click on the Right pane and create a new
   Dword(32-bit) Value key.

Photos slideshow

Hi Michael,



Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.



I understand the inconvenience that you are unable view the photos in slideshow as it repeats after few photos and need to know “How can I change this to show a continuous and non-repeating slideshow?”. We will help you to
resolve this issue.



Please let us know,

• 
  Where does the photos folder located?
  
• 
  Did you try to change the folder location and check?
  

I suggest you to follow the below steps:

Step 1: If the photos folder is located on the desktop, try to create another folder and copy all the content to the newly created folder and add this folder for slideshow and check.



Step 2: Try to create new folder if different location and copy all the content to the newly created folder in different location and add this folder for slideshow and check.



Hope it helps. Please perform the above methods and update the status of this issue, we will be happy to help you.

 

Windows 10: How to change a theme slideshow time interval?

If you want to set intervals of your choice, you can do it by modifying the registry. Please follow the below steps to set the slideshow intervals:

1. Open Run and type regedit.exe
   
2. Navigate to:
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Personalization\Desktop Slideshow
   

In here, the two important values are the Interval, and Shuffle.

Double click on Shuffle, and change the value to 1. OK.

Then change the Interval by double clicking on it. You'll first want to change the Base to Decimal, rather than Hexadecimal (otherwise you'll get unexpected interval values). Then change the value to your desired time, in milliseconds (10000ms for 10 seconds).

You can exit regedit now. The final step is to restart Explorer. You can do this through Task Manager if you know how, otherwise simply restart your computer.
