Hello fellow windows 11 users.

For context, I have set my lockscreen to be a slideshow, showcasing various images. The problem is that before the said slideshow happens, the default blue lockscreen wallpaper still shows up first.What I want instead is the slideshow to happen immediately, with no trace of the blue wallpaper. Would it be possible to do so?

Maybe with a trick: first to select "Picture", "Browse a photo", and select the first photo. Then, select "Slideshow".
