Windows 10: Slideshow Background Not Working

I wanted to start using a slideshow lockscreen background recently so I made a new folder with all the pictures I wanted. After opening the lockscreen settings I changed the wallpaper to slideshow and deleted the default albums that were already there. For some reason, after I choose the folder i made, the settings for slideshow lockscreen don't pop up like it's supposed to. The folder I want does appear in the list of albums though. I don't know what I did wrong but please help.

Background slideshow not working


I have a background slideshow in operation, inherited from Windows 7 when I changed to Windows 10. I know how to personalise the background, but the slideshow does not work when I select a folder other than the one I inherited, even when there are suitable background pictures in the folder. Obviously, I could just put pictures for my background into the one folder which does work, but I would like to be able to select any picture folder, as should work. Can anyone help?
Cheers

Windows 10 Background Slideshow not working

I am using a desktop computer and myy desktop background slideshow does not work. I am having the exact same problem as this person: Windows 10 Background Slideshow not working where
if I click 'next background' nothing happens, but if I open settings then it suddenly changes. It remains stuck on that background until I close settings and reopen them again.

I have checked the windows power settings as suggested in this thread, and the slideshow option is set to "available". One of the other fixes suggested in the thread was to save the current theme as the desktop backgrounds theme, and this didn't solve my
problem either. I also tried refreshing the desktop, which does nothing either.
