How to view photos in a Slideshow in Windows 10?

• Open Microsoft Media Player.
• Drag and drop your photo folder(s) to the Play list (on the right side of the window) and click play.
• It will play a slideshow of your photos AND videos - pretty cool, eh?

I spent the past hour looking up how to run a slideshow in Windows 10. Since MS decided to discontinue Windows Media Center (WMC) from Windows 10, I had to find a new slideshow viewer, and there is no clear way to run one. If you search Windows 10 for "Slideshow"
you get exactly NOTHING.

The Photo App in Windows 10 is awful and doesn't have a slideshow option. Hello? Microsoft? Photo App? Slideshow?

Also, the Slideshow Icon that used to be in Explorer when you selected photos isn't there anymore.

And also as well too - you can download a slideshow App from the MS Store that will show ads on your family photos until you pay to have them go away. Yay. Progress.

Instead of using Media Player, I'd prefer to use the old Windows Media Center application that had the nifty zoom and border options - real slideshow options.

If there is such an application for Windows 10 - please do share.

Thanks!
