  1. The slideshow in lockscreen not working


    I set my lock screen to slideshow. But when the computer automatically locks or press the windows key + L, the lock screen shows only the lock screen wallpaper, nothing else like time, network, battery ... The slideshow screen doesn't work, it just shows the lock screen wallpaper. When I press any button, the screen flashes with the image in the slideshow. I have tried many ways but there is no way to fix this.

    :)

    Power Saving possible with Lockscreen Slideshow?


    Hi all,

    I quite like the new lockscreen slideshow but is there a reason why power saving options like sleep don't work with the lockscreen slideshow and is it possible to make it work?

    Thanks.

    Lockscreen Win-Spotlight & Slideshow are not triggering after update 1803

    Since Update 1803, the slideshow and Windows spotlight do no properly start when the PC is locked or on inactivity.

    Before the 1803 update it was possible to set a Slideshow album, Picture or Windows Spotlight and with WIN+L or on PC inactivity it would switch to the lockscreen and run the pictures
    with the system time, weather-apps, etc. in the lower left corner.

    Since update 1803 the lockscreen slideshows ONLY trigger on first system boot. Afterwards, when the user uses WIN+L or waits for inactivity, the lockscreen displays only the first picture of Spotlight and no slideshow starts. The
    system time is not displayed anymore.

    Setting the lockscreen to Slideshow, the lockscreen will only show a blank screen and not start the slideshow and the
    system time is missing.

    User needs to select a picture from the slideshow album as Picture option first and switch back to Slideshow.

    Then, the lockscreen will only display this first picture and not start the slideshow.

    Additionally, after boot up, when the user uses WIN+L, it may happen that the system time and slideshow are working.
    BUT ONLY randomly. I found no pattern if this works on 2nd, 4th or whatever screen lock attempt.

    Most certainly, the slideshow and spotlight are not working when the PC goes inactive.

    Furthermore;

    Before 1803, when waking the PC from lockscreen, the user did not need to enter his PW in case the lockscreen was triggered by inactivity. Only if the user used WIN+L the start the lockscreen.

    After 1803, the PW is needed in both cases.

    This really bother me The slideshow in lockscreen not working ;)

    The slideshow in lockscreen not working

    Customize lockscreen slideshow


    I've set my lockscreen to a slideshow, and it somehow finally works now.

    However, how do I change the lockscreen interval? It's too fast (like 5s) and I want it to only change every hour.
    How do I prevent the slideshow from showing a collage of wallpapers? (I only want to show 1 wallpaper at a time).

    If there's an app, there must be the option to use pictures from my own folder, as the laptop will be on a metered connection.

    Laptop stats:
    HP Pavillion dm1-4002AU
    Windows 10 Home 64bit (upgraded from Win7 and then reset to a fresh state)
    AMD Radeon HD 6230 Graphics
    6GB RAM
