    Customize the background slideshow timing in Windows 10


    Have Windows 10, Version 21H2.I want to customize the timing of the desktop background.Currently "Background" is set to "Slideshow"I have defined a specific folder for the slideshow, where I have a number of jpg files.How do I set the timing of the slideshow to something other than the pre-defined timing?I would like to have the pictures change every 4 or 5 minutes.

    :)

    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:

    Windows Desktop Background slideshow has erratic timing?

    In my experience, Windows background slideshow feature has always been broken. I suggest you look for a 3rd-party app, or look into this webpage that explains how to "roll-your-own" using the Microsoft/Sysinternals program "BGInfo" and the built-in
