I set my lock screen to slideshow with a custom folder of images and all was working fine. I then changed it to picture mode which by default is five Windows pictures. I've set it back to slideshow with my custom images however the default Windows picture I chose in picture mode now shows in my slideshow with custom images. How can I repair this?
This may contain the information you need to locate the folder containing those images.

I'm not sure why I should need to go to that folder. Those are the default Windows lock screen images when you select picture mode for lock screen. I have chosen slide show mode with a custom album location. The problem I have is one of the default Windows pictures from picture mode is showing as the first image in my slideshow and my custom album pictures begin to show after that.

Further, you use a custom folder; assuming you are using that folder please confirm the 'extra' picture is not present there.Users can select to use Windows Spotlight, a custom single picture, or a custom slideshow of images as their lock screen background.
This tutorial will show you how to find and save custom background images displayed on the lock screen for users in Windows 10.
You could try resetting your slideshow. (from section 5)

It may be by design that Windows uses the default lock screen image before your custom images are available to load: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...f-5b494af135f1
I'm almost certain before I changed the lock screen to picture only mode that it would load straight into my custom slideshow images though.
