    Background slideshow on Windows 10 does not stick


    I just bought a new HP Pavilion laptop for my wife and would like to have a background slideshow of pictures she likes. When I put the settings to Background slideshow and select the folder with the pictures, the slideshow starts and changes two or three picture but then reverts to MS selection of five pictures. How can I get the slideshow to stick?

    :)

  3. Can i have the same preview layout like window 10 slideshow lock screen on window 10 slideshow desktop background ?

    Hi,

    You can have the same preview layout for your lock screen and desktop background slideshow as long as the photos are saved on the same folder. To change the desktop background picture to slideshow, please follow these steps:

    • Open the Settings app.
    • Click on Personalization.
    • Under Background, choose Slideshow.
    • Click on Browse, and then navigate to your slideshow folder that you have created to specify the directory.
    • Set the time interval. Under Change picture every choose your time preference of between 1 minute and 1 day.

    After customizing the desktop background, you'll need to configure the lock screen slideshow settings too. Follow the steps given on this article and select the same slideshow folder:

    Personalize your lock screen
