Random function as used by Desktop personalisation
Amongst the personalisation settings the desktop background can be set to Slideshow, a folder of images selected, and an interval for change set. It can also be set to Shuffle on/off. I assume this is to set whether the display image is selected at random (shuffle on) or sequentially from list of images (shuffle off).
I have it set to select an image from a folder of images and to change it every minute. It have tried shuffle in both positions.
The problem is that more often than not it selects the same image.
I had the same issue with a screen saver. Again the random setting didn't work particularly well wit a distinct bias to one or two images.
It seems Windows random function is not reliable. I have found a better app for the slide show (GPhoto) but can't solve the desktop issue.
Using Windows 10 , latest update, using two VDUs.
