Windows 10: Windows 11 Lock Screen Slideshow - Ultrawide 5120 x 1440

Hi,I have recently upgraded to an ultrawide monitor 5120 x 1440.Previously on my old monitors I used and liked the Windows Spotlight images that were on the lock screen.When I upgraded I realised the Windows Spotlight images were distorted and stretched to the screen and looked pretty horrific. I managed to clear the Windows Spotlight cache of images and the settings. I was then getting ultrawide images, but they were generally 3440 x 1440 so were still being stretched to fit the screen.I decided to use the Slideshow option, and downloaded a collection of 50 5160 x 2160 landscape images to use
