Windows 10: Is there a way to set the timing of the Lock Screen slide show interval?

Lisa B. Wolf · Sep 14, 2019

Is there a way to set the timing of the Lock Screen slide show interval to change photos every 24 hours?

When I personalized the Background, I was given a choice for when I wanted the photos to change (from 1 minute up to 1 day). I'm looking for the same feature for the Lock Screen.

The closest thing I've found (while not being what I'm looking for) is a choice given under Advanced Slide Show Settings to turn off the screen after the slide show has played for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, or not at all. I mention it only because it gives me a tiny glimmer of hope that what I'm looking for might actually exist.

I want to do this, but for Lock Screen:

problems in running slide show in lock screen

Since switching to windows 10 from windows 8.2 I have had problems in running slide show in lock screen. The slide show will only operate when the screen timeout setting is set to 1 minute. All other time settings give a black screen at timeout. Am I missing something?

problems in running slide show in lock screen

I use the Lock screen but I do not use anything that can go with it such as slide shows or having aps appear on it. There is a setting in power for it maybe you should look at that in the CP??

Rotating/Slide Show Screen Saver for Windows 10

Some refinements to
Karthicka_R's minimalist answer.

Even though MS blithely provides Win8-specific answers to Win10-specific questions, the answer -- at least in this case -- is nearly sufficient for Win10 v1607.

If users pay some extra attention to what they're doing in the course of his instructions, they can get through the omissions & errors of the instructions:

Step 1: In the search Cortana search box type
"settings" . . . .

Very bizzarely (IMHO) the Settings app is subtitled as a "Trusted Windows Store App." I don't care how trusted it is, I do not like the idea of my device settings manager existing at the same level as something out of any App
Store. In any case, don't let this "App Store" thing throw you off.

Step 3: There is nothing (of interest or otherwise) in any corners here. "Lock Screen" is the 3rd item in the list.

Step 4: Scroll down on the "Lock Screen" settings page to see the
"Screen Saver Settings" link.

Step 4.1: Select "Photos" in the "Screen saver" field.

Step 4.2: Click the "Settings" button.

Step 5: Select the pictures via the "browse" button in the pop-up window that results from step 4.2.

Step 6: If desired, select slide show speed: "fast," "medium," or "slow."

Despite the link they provide for help on the slideshow config settings pop-up, MS provides no guidance on these values, so I don't know if or how they would vary from one platform to another.

On my laptop, I observed the following photo update intervals:

Fast ≈ 3 sec

Medium ≈ 6 or 7 sec

Slow ≈ 11 sec.

Step 7: The "shuffle pictures" checkbox

If set, then the pictures will be displayed in some randomly shuffled order each time the slideshow activates.

If clear, the slideshows will always sequence through the same pictures in the same order every time the screen saver runs.

When I use the "preview" button to check my screen saver config settings, the screen saver slide show always starts with the same picture, and subsequent pix are either shuffled or not. Does the screen saver work the same way as its preview? I can only
guess.

Perfect answer!!! Thank you, it is the only one that tells me exactly what to do..I still HATE Windows 10 though!
