  1. I can't select a folder to use as a slideshow background


    Hello.



    I'm trying to set a slideshow from a folder to use as my background for my laptop, however, when I select the folder, it always comes up as "No items match your search." Is there any way to solve this issue? It'd be highly appreciated!

    :)

  3. Select pictures from a folder for background slideshow

    In W7 we could select 10 pictures, in a folder containing 100 pictures, to use as our desktop background slideshow.

    How do we do this in W10?

    Pls and Tx.

  4. I can't select a folder to use as a slideshow background

    Select pictures from a folder for background slideshow

    As regards background slideshow, run exactly:

    control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper

    from a WIN+R (Run) prompt to get the ability to select 10 pictures out of a 100 picture folder. I can't select a folder to use as a slideshow background :)
