  1. Windows 10 themes - selecting certain pictures SOLVED


    I recently went looking for a way to extract/save certain pictures from a windows theme, and came across some old threads on here where others had asked the same question, but it never was answered. I found a webpage where it explains how to do this, and i tested it and it works, so i thought i would share it for all of you.


    https://www.thewindowsclub.com/where-does-windows-10-store-themes


    You can go to the link, or here is basically what to do:


    -Copy this: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

    -Paste it into the Run prompt or the file search at the bottom of your screen.

    -Open the theme you want the photos from.

    -You should see a file icon, and another that i wasnt familiar with.

    -Open the file, and you should find the images for the theme.


    i then just moved them to a location i could find them


    Hope this helps!

    :)

    Windows 10 themes - selecting certain pictures

    Neither of the above suggestions help. Vijaya's suggestions only take me to basic directions which I already know. I followed Ric's instructions to the point of my name...

    C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes There is nothing under my name called AppData (see screen capture below of what is listed under my name) I tried another suggestion

    What I want to do is like what I did in Win 7. I want to select or deselect certain pictures in a theme I download to be displayed or not displayed.

    Ric I tried C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes and it showed me the pictures but there is no way to select or deselect what displays on the screen.

  3. Win-10 themes keep changing

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing the information.

    • Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?
    As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

    I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

    Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
    • Select Theme and select the Default theme.
    • Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
      and save it and check.
    Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
