  1. Windows 10 Photo App - move Album to Lockscreen screensaver


    I have created an Album in the Photos app on the W10 taskbar . It does not appear in any download file. So I cannot

    find it to add it to the W10 Lockscreen Screensaver.

    How can I fix that problem, please ?

    :)

  2. Photos App - Albums saved. Can I convert Slideshow to Scrteensaver ?

    Thanks for the reply and apologies for delay . Basically - Yes ! I created an Album in the

    Photos app, and downloaded it to My Drive. Now I have downloaded it from there.

    Clicking on the 'Pictures' link which is on the side screen of Windows 10 LockScreen, the

    download file is on the list - as a Zip File as it has 230 photos on.

    When I then go to add it to a screensaver - either Lockscreen or Background - and Browse

    for it - it is nowhere to be found. Same as looking for it on Facebook when adding a photo to a Post - nowhere is it listed .

    Thank you for any help you can give. Appreciated.

    Why did the photos app auto-create a random photo album?

    The automatic album creation is a new feature:

    (Source: Microsoft documentation.) It didn't add all the photos taken on that date because it thought some were too similar to others:

    Date and time are definitely taken into account when grouping the photos; a CNET article suggests there might be more complex logic too:

    The location would be determined from information embedded in the picture by the device that took it.

    Concerning the uninvited appearance of the app: That seems to be a bug experienced by many people with the management of Universal app processes. For some, it's caused by a certain version of DisplayFusion.

  4. Windows 10 Photo App - move Album to Lockscreen screensaver

    Photos App - Albums saved. Can I convert Slideshow to Scrteensaver ?

    I have Albums saved to Microsoft Driver and on Photo app. But they will not transfer to Lockscreen or Background Screensavers. I have tired of trying now. Can I use the Slideshow feature on Photos app as a Screensaver ? In otherwords, have it running
    in background or auto start when I close browser ?

    I cannot find how to put these Albums on My Pictures where the other Screensavers can find them - under Browse. Have now given up trying this. It is easy to open Photos ( well, it takes at least 5 mins !) , find the Album and put on the Slideshow.

    Any ideas, please ?
