    Lock Screen Slideshow won't activate as scheduled


    I'm coming from Win7 and I loved the new Lock Screen Slideshow feature, especially when it starts combining pictures to fill your whole screen in a collage!
    Sadly, the only way I've been able to view this screen is when I activate it myself (win-key+L). On top of that, I was planning to use this screen as an automatic screensaver after a set amount of time has lapsed.

    Also, since it never activates on its own and my display is set to turn off after the Lock Screen slideshow has played for 30 min, my display stays on indefinitely. Changing the power settings in Control Panel for my display (turn off after x minutes) makes no difference to this behavior.

    Any ideas? It seems nobody else is having this problem according to Google.


    Another, less-annoying problem I'm having is the first picture in the slideshow is always the same sample picture that came with windows. Anyone experience that? If you delete the sample picture the first frame in the slide is just black instead.

    :)

  2. Unable to select pictures from folder to set as slideshow on Windows 10.

    For desktop slideshow or lock screen slideshow?

    The images won't show up in the preview shown when selecting that folder, but would be used.

    Windows 10 lock screen slide show not working

    I tried this but my screen continues to just show the background image. The lock screen never comes on by itself to start the slideshow. I can manually press windows button + L to activate lock screen, then the slideshow starts on its own. But before
    I loaded windows 10, I didn't have to manually initiate lock screen.

    Lock Screen Slideshow won't activate as scheduled

    Similar issue - upgrade from win 7 pro to win 10 pro. In win 7 lockscreen slideshow used both monitors. Under win 10 it only shows on the primary (the one with the taskbar).
    Any ideas?
