Windows 10: My background is changing every hour, despite being set to change every 6 hours.

Under Settings > Personalization > Background, I have "Slideshow" selected. I have it set to Change Picture every "6 hours". But in actuality, the background is changing every hour.


(In case it is needed, Shuffle is ON, and Allow Slideshow when on battery power is OFF.)


What is going on? How can I fix this? This just started a couple of days ago.


Windows 10 Home

Version 1803

OS build 17134.345

change agenda hour settings?

I recently started using Windows mobile, so still getting my way around it. One thing that I don't seem to find is how to change the color settings of the office hours versus others in the agenda day view. It seems to be set from 8am till 16am, but I cannot
imagine that everyone would have those hours. So I want to change that setting, but have no idea how to.

thanks

Quiet Hours not working as expected

Hi Alan,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We appreciate your interest in Windows 10. I will be glad to assist you with this.

When you enable Quiet hours, the window of time when it can be engaged is from
12 midnight to 6 AM.

Quiet Hours allows for the user to define periods of time in which the system will be fresh and up to date when the user is present, but will stop background tasks and notifications when the user is away from their system.


However, since you are not receiving the notifications even after 6 AM, I would suggest you to
check the regional settings and the time settings and make sure that it is set correctly.

Also, check which server settings your computer is synced to by following the steps below:

1. Type "date and time" in the search bar and open it.

2. Click on "internet time" tab.

3. Click on "change settings".

4. Check "synchronize with an internet time server"

5. Under server, select time.windows.com
from the drop down list.

6. Click on "update now" and click
ok.

7. Restart your computer and check if the issue persists.

Also, refer to the link below for steps to enable quiet hours:
