Photo App/Tile for Windows 10 Desktop similar to old Windows 7 Photos Gadget?

Is there a tile or app I can place on my Windows 10 Desktop that would always display a photos slide show like the old Photos Gadget did in Windows 7? I found something that would change the whole desktop background with photos, but I just want something small like I had with the Photos Gadget/Widget I had with Windows 7.  The old gadget used to let me view a particular photo that was displaying at the time and open it in my favorite photo editor if I wanted to as well.

I know there is a tile in the startup menu that seems to do this, but I can't seem to pin it to the desktop.

I know there are others out there who are interested in this as well, but I haven't been able to find a solution using Bing or Google.

Thanks!

Use a search engine for the answer? That's exactly what I did for hours before I came here. How much information do you think is out there for Windows 10 right now? Not much. If you don't know the answer just say "I don't know" instead of telling me to ask someone else.

This question was precisely about Windows 10. I'm not looking for third party software. I wanted to know if I could use a tile, photo tile in the start menu, and pin it to the desktop, or if Windows 10 had something that replaced the functionality of gadgets.

I apologize if I seem a bit peeved, but you decided to be condescending without actually reading my question.

Thanks...

I just upgraded to 10 and have the same question.

In 8.1 there was an option to display tiles of random photos in the Pictures folder as a screen saver.

Is this available for 10?
