Windows 10: Cannot get Background display to work as a slide show.

I have tried to set the Background Display to point to a folder that contains JPG photos to use as wallpaper. However, the laptop will not save the setting where I select SLIDESHOW even though the my WALLPAPER folder is still showing. It seems like the only option that works is to have a solid background.


I have run the Microsoft memory diagnostic and that reported back that no problems were found.


My system is an HP laptop with 1TB running Windows 10 (with the latest updates applied). I am running from the only userID on this laptop ... and administrator ID.


I had set this background display option on my wife's laptop (a Dell) but am frustrated as to why it will not work on my HP.


Thanks, in advance for your help!

windows 10 slide show not working

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to the community - by Windows 10 slide show, do you mean the desktop background slide show is not working or the slideshow option in the Photos app?

If it's the desktop background slide show and you are using on a laptop or tablet that is unplugged, by default the power options will likely not continue the slideshow. You can change this option in the advanced power settings:

• Type Power Options in the Search/Cortana bar
• Open the Power Options - Control Panel option
• Select Change plan settings on the power option that is selected for your device
• Click Change advanced power settings
• Under Desktop background settings - Slide Show, change the "On battery" option from Paused to Available

Regards,

Jaime
