  1. lock screen slideshow suddenly stopped working


    I noticed a few days ago that the slideshow on the lock screen wasn't working anymore. I don't recall making any changes to settings and no new updates were installed. My desktop slideshow was also misbehaving - I had to reset the folder with images and it appears to be working - but only the desktop - not lockscreen. Any tips?

  2. Lock Screen Slideshow


    My first step in troubleshooting a network wide problem on February 29th from now on is going to be to roll back the date and see what happens. It's caused by the leap year strangely enough, it will work fine tomorrow. Also if you change the date it will fix the problem. Thanks Microsoft... *Huh

    Lock Screen Slideshow


    Suddenly the lock screen slideshow no longer works, it just stays at one picture. I have not made any changes to the folders i have set and there have been no windows updates recently. I tried logging out, I tried restarting but nothing works. What could be causing this
