I'm trying to use a personal folder with my pictures, in my main Pictures folder, as my (lock) screen saver input source. Some of these pictures were taken before the 16:9 aspect ratio became the norm. Many of them were taken in 4:3 aspect ratio. I'm pretty sure there used to be a way, using a "choose a fit" dropdown on the Windows screen saver "settings" page to adjust the fit to either "fit" or "fill" or "stretch" to make them fit the entire 16:9 screen, when the screen saver is running.
Was the "choose a fit" removed? Recently? It seems that my screen saver pictures worked fine during the last year or so, they were displayed in 16:9 ratio using the "choose a fit" setting, but now the older 4:3 ratio ones look like the right and left sides have been cropped about an inch.
I see there's still a "choose a fit" option for the "Background" setting under "Personalization", but not for the screen saver, under "Personalization" > "Lock Screen" > "Screen Save Settings".
I'm on a Dell Inspiron Model 7352, with all available drivers and BIOS updates, and am running Windows 10 Home, Version 1809, installed on 2019-02-24, Build 17763.379. My OS is fully up to date, AFAIK (KB4489899 was just installed). The stock Pictures files/folders are the input source, and has been for years.
