Windows 10: trying to get my picture slideshow

Hi Brink:

I just upgraded to Win10Pro last week, and am having issues with trying to get my picture slideshow to work properly. I have three monitors, and just upgraded my AMD drviers for my graphics card. I thought I had everything OK, until I noticed today that the same picture within my pictures folder is showing on all three monitors, instead of a random picture on each monitor. I have gone through your tutorials here, and see some bits and pieces that you mention of this, but I'm not picking up any of the fixes per se. any ideas? Thanks!

:)

 

Windows 10 Lock Screen Slideshow Not Working

Hello all,

I've tried a few times to get the slideshow runnig on my laptop however it works perfectly on my desktop.

At first it shows only three pictures of a dozend. I find out, that only the pictures recognized by the Windows 10 "Pictures" app are shown at the slideshow.

Moving and copying the pictures into existing and new created folders in different directorys ended up with an error "You need more than one picture to show in your slideshow" after testing the slideshow setting by Win+L.

So gave up my first try.

As I tried and searched today I found this thread. This leads me to an rights issue accessing my preferred slideshow pictures by the lock screen app.

At least my solution was to add rights for "all application packages" to my preferred slideshow folder.

So it work's after Win+L

Hope this will help some of you.

I'm still trying to get the slideshow running after reboot by manipulating the lock screen settings at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or .DEFAULT User profile

 

LockScreen SlideShow dosent display the way it should.

Original Title: LockScreen SlideShow

I Have a Windows 10 computer that I am enabling the lock screen slideshow option to show specific pictures when I lock my computer. When doing so the slideshow works no problem and shows my pictures but at random points in the slideshow, it tries to bunch
2-7 pictures on to one slide (like a collage) when all I want is for the slideshow to go through and display one picture at a time. Is there a way to stop the slideshow feature from trying to put a bunch of my pictures on one slide and just go through then
one at a time?

 

Hello Sean, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Is this slide show for your desktop or lock screen?

I assume desktop. If so, did you select shuffle?

(see option 6)

Thank you, Brink. Yes...it is for my desktop, and shuffle is selected. This worked just fine for years before Win10 and for a few days after.

 

Double check to make sure that you don't have anything in the selected folder other than image files.

In addition, make sure it's a folder on the local PC, and not a OneDrive folder. I've noticed that it doesn't always work well from a OneDrive folder location.

Hope this may help. *Smile

 

Well, I do have .mov and .mp4 files intermixed with my .jpgs. I have multiple folders that I've got loaded, but the interface didn't pick up any of the video files that I know of. Funny (well, it really isn't!)...this wasn't such as big deal in Win 8.1. Looks like I'm going to have to re-arrange all my pictures and folders. Thanks for your help, Brink!

 

I'd test using a new folder with a couple of images in it first to make sure though.

If you have secure sign-in enabled where you have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to unlock, then that would cause the slide show to not play on your lock screen.

 

Well, I tried your suggestion....have 10 pictures in my Pictures folder selected. Still have the same single photo showing on all 3 screens as my desktop background. I do not have the Lock Screen activated. Ideas?

 

In that case, double check to see what the Interval DWORD value is set at. It may be set high for how often to change the picture.

This will be in the yellow tip box at the bottom of option 5.

Hope you can see this! It's set at 30000, which I believe is 30 seconds, correct?

 

Yep, that's 30 seconds.

I must admit that I'm not sure why your lock screen (not sign-in screen) is not playing the slide show. *Confused

 

Brink:

You know, instead of screwing with this any further, I decided to try out DisplayFusion, and it's working great. I haven't tried my FSX with it yet, but for $25 for the Pro Version, I think it will work nicely. It also takes care of my ScreenSaver problem of the pictures hanging halfway off the screen! Thank for your help, Brink!

 

I'm glad to hear that you got it sorted. *Smile
