Lock Screen Slide Show - Turn On or Off in Windows 8.1

How to Turn On or Off the Lock Screen Slide Show in Windows 8.1


information   Information
Windows 8.1 introduces a new feature to be able to set your lock screen to play a dynamic slide show of shuffled images from your selected SkyDrive, local (This PC), library, homegroup, or network folders.

This tutorial will show you how to turn on and setup or turn off playing a slide show on your lock screen in Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1.

Note   Note
In Windows 8 and 8.1 there are two "Lock" screens. One is set by the user that is displayed only when they are signed in. The other is the default Lock screen image that is displayed when there are no users signed in.

The lock screen slide show will not play when there are no users signed in. For example, at startup.

Each user has their own specific lock screen. The lock screen that shows depends on the user the is signed in and locked the PC.

Be sure to have the Windows Search service enabled and running.

Lock screen win 8.1

Hi,

I had a small question about the new lock screen properties of windows 8.1

When new changes in windows 8.1 leaked out some said the lock screen had multiple images changing next to each other like this:





But now in windows 8.1 the only thing you can do is making a slide show on your lock screen. But only one by one photograph. While the image above shows multiple photo's changing randomly.
How do they do that?

Hello Sebas,

It still does that in Windows 8.1 for the lock screen slide show. It will do it automatically, but you will need to let the slide show play for a bit before you will see multiple images on the screen, and images panning with animation as well.

Here's what I have mine set to for this.

Hope this helps, :)

Brink, is there anyway to trigger this slideshow immediately? I'd like to get up from my computer and then activate the slideshow right away without waiting for the set time (15 mins.) for the dsplay to turn off and begin the slideshow.

If you have the lock screen slide show turned on, then you should be able to lock :)winkey: + L) the computer to see the lock slide show play when you like. :)

Hello Brink,

I've been having some issues trying to change my screen image whenever I "Switch Users". I understand Windows 8.1 have two lock screens, but I cant manage to change it. I used to have one by default, but I went into C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\S-1-5-18\ReadOnly\LockScreen_Z then proceeded to replace that image, but every time it changed to a solid blue whenever I switch users.

P.S I tried the second option from this post http://www.eightforums.com/tutorial...ault-background-image-change-windows-8-a.html but it only works when every user is signed out.

Hello Dwoot, and welcome to Eight Forums.

The default lock screen from the tutorial link in your post will only show when no users are signed in. Option One there would have been much easier to use though.

When you switch users, you are actually seeing the sign in screen instead of the lock screen. That will only be a solid color. Like the lock screen, there are two sign in screens as well. One that shows your account, and the default that shows all users.

Thanks for your fast reply Brink.

I'm not referring to the screen with the user logins. When I switch users I get to this screen with an image, date and time in the bottom left corner, and just after clicking or pressing any key I get to the user login screen. I found that particular image comes from C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img100.png

When I deleted it from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\S-1-5-18\ReadOnly\LockScreen_Z it no longer showed.

Sorry, I'm so confused about all this.

Option one did the trick! Thank you very much Brink.
I thought it required installation which I wanted to avoid, but it didn't.

Thanks so much again. :)

Brink, I'm trying to add media folders with my photo albums with this method (Step 5), but I cannot browse to anything. Selecting "This PC", presents no files or folders.

Hello Dick,

Odd. Did you move your user profile and libraries to another location? That could explain why they are not there.

No, not that I'm aware of. This is a newer laptop about two months old, with the 8.1 update. My media folders are on an external hard drive. I don't think there are libraries.

Odd. Are you able to navigate to the "C:\Users\(user-name)" folder location in File Explorer?

You might see if restarting the PC may sort it.

Under network, any path I type in, I get a message saying there's a problem with the network path. I have this same problem whenever I try to sync my windows phone... nothing is available to select from "This PC", only "OneDrive" seems to ever be accessible.
