Desktop Background Slideshow in Windows 10

I have found that you cannot use the downloaded themes and change them except for the overall background color.

I use my own pictures through settings-personalization-background-slideshow, there I choose my picture folder. Then I choose a background color in "colors". Close the settings, go back again, settings-personalization, and open themes-theme settings. There
the slideshow or theme with my pictures including the background color of my choice is listed as unsaved theme. Save it.

Changing other things such as duration of slide display, I think the only way so far is what someone here has suggested: Put cursor on a theme, then press Windows Key + R, and type control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper.

It's all a bit complicated

=================================

Possible Problems:

1. The option to create a background slideshow is not working in Windows 10.

2. Background Slideshows from a previous Windows version not working or found.

3. Links to a Photo Album: Personalize > Background > Slideshow displays "No items match your search." when selecting a folder containing your pictures.

If your Slideshow option or theme is not working, or you want to create a new slideshow follow these steps.

SOLUTION: Create a Slideshow Using Windows 10 Settings:

From your Desktop, R-Click the screen and select "Personalize" > Select Background > Slideshow > Browse

Find the folder containing your slideshow pictures and click on it. The image below shows that the folder is empty, and there is nothing to select. Ignore the "No items match your search." text and click the "Choose this folder" button:





The slides from your folder should appear immediately as your background. Review and select the available options for changing the picture time, shuffle and choose a fit.

1. Update Settings: Return to Settings >Personalization > Select "Themes... Theme Settings"

2. You should see your theme available under the "My Themes" group.

3. Click the "Unsaved Theme" then save it with a new theme name.



To change or update slides simply add or remove image files from your background folder.
