Windows 10: Windows 10 Lock Screen Slideshow

I have my lock screen set to show to slideshow but I am having two problems with it.


1. This is the important one for me. The images for the slideshow are frequently zoomed in on the images instead of showing the whole picture. I can't seem to find any way to change the settings to fix this, anyone have a suggestion?


2. Not as important but kind of annoying. I can't change which image starts the slideshow or is set as the lock screen when logging in from the picture that was apparently randomly selected out of the folder of images. How do I set it to either change from time to time or just change it myself?

Hi,

You can have the same preview layout for your lock screen and desktop background slideshow as long as the photos are saved on the same folder. To change the desktop background picture to slideshow, please follow these steps:

• Open the Settings app.
• Click on Personalization.
• Under Background, choose Slideshow.
• Click on Browse, and then navigate to your slideshow folder that you have created to specify the directory.
• Set the time interval. Under Change picture every choose your time preference of between 1 minute and 1 day.

After customizing the desktop background, you'll need to configure the lock screen slideshow settings too. Follow the steps given on this article and select the same slideshow folder:
