It's simple, but it's also kind of complicated because Windows sucks ass.
You will go to...
Windows Settings (Gear Wheel)
Customization (Background, Lockscreen, Colors)
Lockscreen
Choose "Diashow/Slideshow" from the Dropdown menu
Choose a Folder of images you want to use
Check the "Show Lockscreen image in Login screen" option below
That's how you enable Lockscreen images cycling between different wallpapers, but now onto the "complicated" part..
First of all, if you want to have a different image for the LOGIN SCREEN (where you type in your password) then you have to set a single desired image for the Lockscreen from the Dropdown menu ("Image") then save it. Then go back to Lockscreen Customization again, and simply choose "Diashow/Slideshow" again with the desired folder of images. I know, right? Complicated.
Now, onto the second complicated part, where you will have to do a thing called "Registry editing" (ughhhh..) if you want.
Reason why you have to do this part, is because Windows sometimes splits all your desired wallpapers into multiple tiles and show them all at once, so this thing will FORCE the Lockscreen the use only 1 image at a time:
Press Win+R / or press the Hourglass-search icon from your toolbar.
Search for "Regedit"
Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER"
-> "SOFTWARE"
--> "Microsoft"
---> "Windows"
----> "Current Version"
-----> "Lockscreen"
Now in the Lockscreen part, you will see a lot of registry settings such as "Slideshow Duration", "Slideshow Enabled", and a whole bunch of other shit in a list - don't touch any of them - but we will add a NEW setting there.
Right click anywhere on the background, and select
"New ->"
"DWORD-value (32-bit)
Name it "SlideShowLayout"
Right-click on your newly added and named "SlideShowLayout" and press "Edit"
Type in the number "1" or any number you desire; this will determine how many images the Lockscreen is allowed to show at once. For me, it's "1"
Press OK
And we're done.. Phew. Gotta love Windows, right?
Finally got my desktop to something I been trying for. For some reason my File explorer refused to switch icon

I try to keep my desktop as clutter-free as possible. I mostly keep applications and tools in the START menu or on the taskbar below if I'm using them constantly. I tend to switch things up depending on the apps I currently use, or find myself not using over time.

My Desktop, it's nothing special.
