    What a nightmare!


    I am so used to the ease with which I could access the control panel, on Windows 7, and change my backgrounds, as well as how long my selected pictures stayed, even minimize, on the screen.


    Now, I am using Windows 10 and I dont even understand WHAT the machine is asking, when it asks questions.


    Probably, this is because I never took computer programming classes. I am just a typist, who writes short story fiction.


    This is why I ask that all replies be in HUMAN English not computer code.


    I want to know how to modify my windows 10 background, and how to tell the computer that **I** want to set the amount of time that selected photos will remain on my desktop.


    What a nightmare. I wish I had Windows 7 back.


    Any suggestions, on solving Window2s 10 problems?

    :)
