Finally got motivated enough to change the lock screen from other peoples photography to my own. Spend an hour going through shots and make a folder under 'Pictures' root folder called 'Lock screen', go to the settings for lock screen and select that folder as the slideshow source. "We can't use that folder so it was removed". Hmmm. Ok, let me add it to 'Documents' instead. Same issue. Hmmm, ok.... I hate it, but let me move it under c: - ok, it accepted it, sweet. Lock the screen, not showing anything... Hmmm ok, google it. Apparently it fails silently when it needs permissions. Hmmm, Ok... workaround is to select 'Photo' mode instead of slideshow mode, lock the screen. Ok, shows the photo. Ok, now go back to slideshow mode and it should work.

Wrong place for this rant I know but windows just seems progressively shittier over the years, if that's even possible.
