In-built Photos screen saver starts as blank for 4 min
Hello, I hope this is a right place for this. I have Windows 11 home. I wanted to use the in-built "Photos" screen saver to slideshow my photos in the Pictures folder. No matter how much time...

Thank you for your feedback, Almaiw. The issue was potentially connected to One Drive syncing as the pictures folder was linked to it. I changed my pictures folder to a non-synced location and it is not longer an issue :)

Your issue with the "Photos" screensaver in Windows 11 Home — where the screen goes blank exactly at the set time but the slideshow starts with a delay — is quite specific. Since other in-built screensavers work as expected, it suggests the problem is isolated to the "Photos" screensaver feature.
