Windows 10: Sign-in Screen Not Displaying Slideshow

First, I'd like to clarify the terminology in my request, since when looking for solutions online people seem to tend to get what is being discussed. Pressing Win+L takes me to the "lock screen". At the lock screen, pressing any key or clicking the mouse takes me to the "sign-in screen", where I am asked for my password. The following setting is supposed to cause the sign-in screen to show the same image as the lock screen:

When using a picture for my lock screen, everything works exactly as it should. The lock screen displays the correct picture, and the sign-in screen displays the same picture.

My problem comes when choosing to display a slideshow on the lock screen. The lock screen itself correctly shows the slideshow, cycling through the images. The sign-in screen, on the other hand, does not display the slideshow; instead, it always shows whatever was previously chosen as the lock screen's background picture.

Choosing a picture from the same folder as the slideshow as a background picture before changing to a slideshow does not fix the problem; it simply makes that predetermined picture the one that the sign-in screen is stuck on. Even if the lock screen's slideshow moves on to another picture, the sign-in screen will always go back to the same predetermined picture.

Is there any way to get the sign-in screen to continue to display the lock screen's slideshow?

Change signin screen to a certain image keeping lock screen slideshow?

I have the option for 'Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen' enabled, but every time I get to the sign-in screen the only image that is ever displayed is the default 'beach from inside a cave' picture. My current settings are that it will choose images as a slideshow from a specific folder which definitely does not have the beach picture in it, and it works just fine for the lock screen itself.

EDIT: I changed the lock-screen settings to only use a picture instead and it worked just fine, but now the lock screen only shows that image, not a slideshow, regardless of settings. Is having the sign-in screen as a slideshow even possible?
