MacBook Pro upgraded to Big Sur system preferences Desktop & Screen saver has the "Change Picture" and "Random Order" greyed out

Hi hoping to get some help. Just upgraded my MacBook Pro OS to Big Sur 11.6 and when I go into System Preferences, Desktop & Screen Saver settings the Change Picture and Random Order options are greyed out and I cannot find how to unlock them. Anyone had this happen to them and know how to fix this?


Thanks in advance

PLEASE DISREGARD!!!!! I just stumbled across HOW TO DO IT.......apparently after selecting the folder I clicked on one of the pictures in the folder and presto the Change Picture selection was no longer greyed out and soon as I checked that option the Random Order was available to select. Dumb *** luck on my part sorry for the false alarm.
