Photos slideshow

Hi Deepika

First of all, thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. Much appreciated.

The folder containing the photos is located on an external hard drive. I right click on one of the photos and am given a list of options from which to choose. I choose your app, Photos, and start a slideshow.
However it plays just 30 items and then goes back to the first one and starts over. As you suggested, I created a new folder (in my C drive), copied some photos in there and then tried to play a slideshow using Photos. The same thing happened again, just 30
items are played.

I have also copied all my collection into Photos and played a slideshow directly from there. This works well and plays without repeating. However, as the options available in Photos are very limited, I would
like to continue to play a slideshow using the items stored in the external hard drive. This worked perfectly with previous Windows (XP, 7, 8) but not with 10. Any other thoughts?

Thanks in advance
Regards

Michael
