Windows 10: Sideshow background playing same photos

I have 2 monitors plugged into my laptop for work. I set up the slideshow background to my selected photo folder. It currently has around, say 20 photos so far.I have the 2 monitors in use for work and usually only have the laptop free to see the photos changing.The trouble I'm having is that the same 6 photos will play on the same screen each time.So basically my laptop is showing the same 6 photos, monitor 1 same 6, monitor 2 same 6.Given I rarely see monitor 1&2 I am missing all the photos that slide show on it. I thought the photos would fling from 1 screen to another sort of like cloc

Photos app hogging resources in background

Ian, this suggestion was posted on my other thread:

We understand that not all of users are using the Photos app on Windows 10, if not very often. If you don't want this app to be running on background when not in use, there is a way you can turn this
off. Kindly follow the steps provided below:

• In Cortana, type Privacy Settings
  and press Enter.
• Look for Background apps.
• Look for Photos in the list.
• Flip the switch to Off.
• Restart your computer.

After you restart your computer, you can check if the Photos app is still running in background. You can use these steps to turn off any running background applications as it is not limited to Photos
app alone. In this way, you can conserve a lot of power and process allowance.

I just followed these instructions, and now have to wait to see if it works. I'm hoping it solves your problem, too!

 

background themes

Hi Paulo,

I was too hasty last night and thought I'd fixed the problem, but it is happening again. I did what u suggested (both), but it hasn't fixed the problem. Even though I have it on 'pictures' it still shows my selected background picture
plus my personal family photos on sideshow'.

 

Windows Sideshow?

Was wondering the same thing, but seems that symbian is not supported in SideShow.
