Windows 10: Windows 10 background slideshow shows blank white background on startup

I set a slideshow from a directory with about 16 *.jpg files. It seemed fine, but upon reboot the background is blank.

Can not create a desktop background slideshow

After upgrading to Windows 10 (from Windows 8.1) this morning the desktop background slideshow function does not work. If I right click on the desktop and select
Personalize then select Slideshow and browse to an album with my backgrounds the folder shows no photos. If, however, I select
Picture and browse to the same folder all of my backgrounds are there. Likewise I can set a solid color as a background. Its only the Slideshow functionality that is not working.

So how to solve this issue... Please note the desktop background Slideshow function worked well for me with Windows 8.1...

In an old post for Windows 8 I found one user suggested looking in the power settings and making sure the
Slideshow setting is set to Available versus Paused. My power setting is set to
Available for both battery and plugged in.
