Windows 10: Stop using default pictures in WIN10 desktop background slideshow

Hi,


I want to create desktop background slideshow from selected (and only selected) directory of my pictures.


This was easy (something like settings -> motifs theme -> slideshow -> select source).


However with the selected directory of about 5 pictures, the windows default pictures got included in to the slideshow. How can I get rid of them (they can't be easily deleted as they belong to the TruestedInstaller authority).


Best regards

:)

 

The desktop background feature is not visable on the personalization page. I want to create a theme with and slideshow of pictures. Can someone list the steps?

Desktop will no longer show pictures or slideshow for background

I'm using windows 10 and for months I have been using my own image as my desktop background. Today the picture went away and was replaced by a solid colored background. I have gone into the settings under personalization and background and I can see
the pictures from my computer I can pick those or slideshow but neither one will work, the only thing that is changeable are the solid colors. when I choose either my photo or one of the ones that comes with Windows it shows up in the preview window but does
not show up on the desktop upon closing the settings window. I've made sure that both themes and high contrast settings are set to OFF or default. Not sure where to go from here, any suggestions?

 

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.
