Windows 10: How can I put the photos that I uploaded on files as a Lock Screen slideshow?

Hey guys so I have an issue with my laptop. It’s a Lenovo yoga and I’ve been trying to create a picture slideshow on my lockscreen but it doesn’t seem to work at all.I have the photos uploaded on my files so I can see them whenever there on the files app, but when I try to create the slideshow on the settings app, the file’s app pops up but my photos are no where to be found at all.I’ve looked everywhere to see where they could be but with no success.If anyone could help me resolve this issue it would be very much appreciated.Thanks.

Can i have the same preview layout like window 10 slideshow lock screen on window 10 slideshow desktop background ?

Hi,

You can have the same preview layout for your lock screen and desktop background slideshow as long as the photos are saved on the same folder. To change the desktop background picture to slideshow, please follow these steps:

• Open the Settings app.
• Click on Personalization.
• Under Background, choose Slideshow.
• Click on Browse, and then navigate to your slideshow folder that you have created to specify the directory.
• Set the time interval. Under Change picture every choose your time preference of between 1 minute and 1 day.

After customizing the desktop background, you'll need to configure the lock screen slideshow settings too. Follow the steps given on this article and select the same slideshow folder:

Personalize your lock screen.
