Windows 10: Random Lock Screen Image

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of anyone who has made this program yet?

Say I have 10 images that I really like, and every time I go to the Lock Screen in Windows 10, a random one of those ten images will be loaded as my Lock Screen image.

I already have a Slide Show that plays on my Lock Screen a few seconds after my Lock Screen activates. Yet there are a select few images that I really like, and would love to see them randomly appear as the initial image on my Lock Screen.

Thanks

:)

 

Windows Spotlight wallpaper, doesn't change

Thanks, I already saw that. The problem for me seems to be a little different. If I press Win + L to lock screen, picture changes.

The problem is in startup login screen. It keep shows same image, even if I ticked "how lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen".

EDIT: Well, this look so bugged and random. If I choose "image" instead of Spotlight, and choose a random picture, it sometimes changes logon image as well, sometimes NOT.

 

Feature Request: Random change of lock screen image from folder

Windows 10

On Settings, Lock Screen, Background:

Add: "Picture (randomly change)"

Config:

• When "Picture (randomly change)" is selected, add "Choose Album for your random picture selection." (much like the current 'Slideshow' option Album selection).
• Another option could be how often to change:
  • Daily
  • Every x hours
  • Every Lock Screen (new image for each lock screen)

Currently: When a user tires of the same Lock Screen image, they manually change it.

Request: For "Picture (randomly change)", select a different image from the selected / configured Album. Each time the user is presented with a Lock Screen, they see a different image from the Album. The system would select the image from
the album randomly.

Notes: This is not a request to replace the Slideshow option. For this new option, when the Lock Screen is viewed, the image would remain static (not change) until the next Lock Screen (after logging on to a Windows session and subsequently
coming back to the Lock Screen by one of several mechanisms, whether it be for the home user or the corporate energy saving policy member.

Also, this would be a much more energy efficient option than the Slideshow option, since it would just select a single image and the monitor would still power down per the Power settings just like the standard "Picture" option. It merely displays a different
image each time (or on a scheduled basis) the Lock Screen is invoked.

So this allows a user to display their own images, their favorite images, etc. over time without a) using a Lock Screen slideshow, and b) also having a desktop Screen Saver configured. On that last point: Windows 10 currently does not allow there to be
a Lock Screen Slideshow configured simultaneously with a Desktop Screen Saver configured. This new option would appease to the users that are unhappy with that restriction.

If you have your pictures use them in slide show.

 

Yet the thing is that when I press Windows Button + L, I would only like to see a random one of the ten selected images that I like.

 

and I guess slide show picks the first one time and time again. That is an interesting puzzle. Not sure how to randomize.

Maybe another member knows of a utility. I did a search and the closest I got was random desktop.

way to make slideshow shuffle photos, instead of displaying linearly?

 

Yes, that is correct. I saw that tutorial by Shawn (Brink) that you posted, yet it only applies to the Lock Screen Slideshow, not the Lock Screen Image itself.

I did a small video so you, and others, can have a visual to see what I'm talking about =)


00:02 - That's when I press Windows Button + L (to lock the account), this is the Lock Screen Image that I have
00:13 - Lock Screen Slideshow begins to play
00:32 - I log back into my account. (Apparently the video recorder program that I'm using turns the password screen blank)
00:35 - Back to the Desktop
00:40 - I press Windows Button + L. Now I go back to my same Lock Screen Image.
00:51 - Lock Screen Slideshow begins to play... etc.

So notice when I pressed Windows Button + L, I go to that same image. I want a random one of ten selected images to load right when I press Windows Button + L. I hope this clears up some of the confusion. =)

Thanks
