Microsoft Photos 2026.11060

You're right, Microsoft Photos is pretty basic. If you're looking for something a bit more flexible, you might want to try ImageGlass:

To set a slideshow timer, just go to: Settings > Image > Slideshow.

As for the second part of your comment, we actually have an article that dives into it:

And also some helpful workarounds here:

There's no speed control for preview automation, and Microsoft sells your information to a 3rd party.
