Windows 10: How can I force the Microsoft Screen Saver Slide Show to stop using the same pictures every...

For as long as MS has had the photo slide show screen saver, it has always repeated the same photos every time it turns on. The technology to fix this problems has existed since literally before Windows OS and its photo slide show even existed. All the program needs to do is use a random function to guide each file selection. That random function should be time dependent, not something that starts from the same seed value each time which it clearly does at the present. A middle school coder could look at your code and modify it to do this fix. Just provide the code to the public, offer $50 t

Slide Show Screen Saver Error


I've been using the Slide Show Screen Saver for a while now but recently a problem cropped up. The slide show would run for about 5 minutes or so but then it would freeze on a picture for a bit and then the screen would go black with a "An error has stopped the slide show from playing" message. What's wrong and how can I fix it?
