For some reason, Microsoft has decided to remove the functionalities of the two Run commands below, so they’ll only work if you have a Windows 10 version that is not yet updated with the Creators Update.

If you’re on Windows 10, you might have noticed that you can only select one folder at a time and all of its subfolders will not be used to generate the slideshow.
