How can I put a photo slideshow on shuffle? Where are all the slideshow options?

I just recently bought a new Dell laptop and it has Windows 10. How can I view my photos in a slideshow in shuffle mode? On my old laptop, I was easily able to put the photo slideshow on shuffle by simply right clicking during the slideshow and turning shuffle on.  The old photo slideshow seemed to have way more options. By simply right clicking, I was able to turn on/off shuffle, adjust the slideshow speed (slow, medium, and fast), pause the slideshow, turn on/off slideshow loop, etc. Why would they remove these basic features? Is there anyway to do any of those things now? I've tried using the "Photos" app as well, and don't see any of those options there either, even in settings. Please help. Also, in the old photo slideshow, the pics would stretch out and fit the entire full screen. Now they do not. I miss the old slideshow options so much. 

Here's an example of what I mean by slideshow options:

^Is there anyway to get those slideshow options back (shuffle, loop, pause, speed adjust, etc?)

Some slideshow functionality is built into the Photos screen saver located in Start > Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen

Scroll down, click Screen saver settings
Click in the list box, choose Photos
Choose your folder then select it
Choose the Shuffle option

Thats about it. A lot of older desktop functionality in Windows 10 is being phased out.
