  1. How can I set multiple backgrounds that can change, like a slideshow?


    There's lots of backgrounds I like but I cant find a way to use all of them in a slideshow like manner, or have them change every time I reset my laptop. The only advice I've seen is on dual monitors and obviously a laptop only has 1 monitor so how can I get multiple backgrounds to run on one monitor?

  3. Picture set turn background to slideshow

    Hi Henry,

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

    1. Can you outline the troubleshooting steps that you have performed to fix the issue?

    2. Does the issue occur with other images as well or only the one saved in the desktop?

    For now, I suggest that you follow the steps below to change the slideshow option and check.

    1. Go to the Settings application

    2. Click on Personalization, select Picture from that top dropdown

    If the above did not help, change the background picture that you have set and check.

    Hope this helps

    Regards

  4. How can I set multiple backgrounds that can change, like a slideshow?

    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
    .

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
