So you want to display quotes on your computer's locked screen when you're not at your desk. There's one way I know. Looking for a powerpoint that will sequence through slides like in kiosk mode? Sorry, that's not an option (yet) in Windows 10 for the lock screen.
Save your ppt as JPEG images (File > Save As > change the format - the name you provide will be a folder containing each slide)
That done, click on the Window (Start button) on the left of your taskbar and then on the Gear (settings). You'll launch Windows Settings.
Here, in the search box, type "lock" (it might suggest "add a folder to your lock screen slideshow", but don't jump the gun.
At the new menu, change the "Background" option from "Windows Spotlight" to "Slideshow" (drop down)
Then, under "Choose albums for your slideshow", add your new folder.
Then, click on "Advanced slideshow settings" and adjust "When my PC is inactive, show lock .." and "Turn off screen after slideshow has played for".. to your choice.
And that's it. Hit WIN-L and see the result!
Yes, the slides will be displayed in random order - nothing you can do about that :(
