Issue with Windows lockscreen
Hi there, I'm recently having some issues when my PC goes into lockscreen after not being used for a while, cause apparently with WE running my custom slideshow (I have that as my lockscreen setup) just stops working and starts to show a blank colored image, right at the same time when wallpapers from my playlist on WE switch. I assumed that this has to do with a conflict between Windows and WE because some backgrounds that I got have sounds and music, so just as they stop to change to a different wallpaper that particular problem shows up.
So, is there any way to fix this, or at least have WE to be paused or put into "sleep mode" or whatever when my pc goes into automatic lockscreen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks for the answer but apparently I have already that option on the playlist disabled. It's strange tho, cause I'm assuming that having that option unchecked means that the application should't change the wallpaper while my pc is on lockscreen, but it does anyways. Or am I wrong?

It shouldn't change it, no, but it seems Microsoft has changed something about how the lock screen works in an update because there haven't been any issues reported about lock screen related things until 2019 and now there have been a few out of nowhere.

Can you instead disable 'Adjust Windows color'?

Okay I'll try and if I see any difference I'll report it. Thanks for your time!

So apparently disabling "adjust windows color" did the trick for me. Wallpapers are still changing in the background even if the PC is on lockscreen but that weird issue doesn't seem to show up anymore, and this is what matters the most. Again, thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Yes it probably is a scene if it has iCUE support, you can see the type when you select it.

It won't support switching devices without restarting the program over the tray if it's a scene, the sound system used in scenes just doesn't handle it. You could try the stop hotkey maybe, that would reload the wallpaper and its sounds. But if even that doesn't help, there's no way to fix it until it just gets fixed in the sound system ( www.sfml-dev.org )

Ok, sorry but I don't quit get it what are you suggesting me to try to do now. I'm not that into softwares and such, so I'm sorry if I'm not following your latest indications.

Ah, sorry, looks like that reply was meant for a different topic. So nvm, it's completely unrelated.
