  1. I can't set my lockscreen as a slideshow


    When I'm trying to set my lockscreen to a slideshow, I click on the "browse" button for my folders, but in my lockscreen folder, it says "no items match your search". Why is this? I have images in it, and I can set a slideshow for my background just fine, doing the same thing, but for some reason, I can't for my lockscreen? Please help!

    :)

    Power Saving possible with Lockscreen Slideshow?


    Hi all,

    I quite like the new lockscreen slideshow but is there a reason why power saving options like sleep don't work with the lockscreen slideshow and is it possible to make it work?

    Thanks.

    Customize lockscreen slideshow


    I've set my lockscreen to a slideshow, and it somehow finally works now.

    However, how do I change the lockscreen interval? It's too fast (like 5s) and I want it to only change every hour.
    How do I prevent the slideshow from showing a collage of wallpapers? (I only want to show 1 wallpaper at a time).

    If there's an app, there must be the option to use pictures from my own folder, as the laptop will be on a metered connection.

    Laptop stats:
    HP Pavillion dm1-4002AU
    Windows 10 Home 64bit (upgraded from Win7 and then reset to a fresh state)
    AMD Radeon HD 6230 Graphics
    6GB RAM

    I can't set my lockscreen as a slideshow

    Lockscreen Win-Spotlight & Slideshow are not triggering after update 1803

    Since Update 1803, the slideshow and Windows spotlight do no properly start when the PC is locked or on inactivity.

    Before the 1803 update it was possible to set a Slideshow album, Picture or Windows Spotlight and with WIN+L or on PC inactivity it would switch to the lockscreen and run the pictures
    with the system time, weather-apps, etc. in the lower left corner.

    Since update 1803 the lockscreen slideshows ONLY trigger on first system boot. Afterwards, when the user uses WIN+L or waits for inactivity, the lockscreen displays only the first picture of Spotlight and no slideshow starts. The
    system time is not displayed anymore.

    Setting the lockscreen to Slideshow, the lockscreen will only show a blank screen and not start the slideshow and the
    system time is missing.

    User needs to select a picture from the slideshow album as Picture option first and switch back to Slideshow.

    Then, the lockscreen will only display this first picture and not start the slideshow.

    Additionally, after boot up, when the user uses WIN+L, it may happen that the system time and slideshow are working.
    BUT ONLY randomly. I found no pattern if this works on 2nd, 4th or whatever screen lock attempt.

    Most certainly, the slideshow and spotlight are not working when the PC goes inactive.

    Furthermore;

    Before 1803, when waking the PC from lockscreen, the user did not need to enter his PW in case the lockscreen was triggered by inactivity. Only if the user used WIN+L the start the lockscreen.

    After 1803, the PW is needed in both cases.

    This really bother me I can't set my lockscreen as a slideshow ;)
