Windows 10: Problem with the Wallpaper slideshow (Windows 10)

I want my background to switch between my wallpapers in a slideshow like I did in win7 and 8, but for some reason Windows 10 is not able to find the pictures in my folder.

Example:




But as you can see, this folder is filled with pictures:




I have no idea why this happens. All the pictures are jpg and/or png. The same problem occurs when i try to change the wallpaper in the "lock screen" settings.

Any help is appreciated *Smile

[Solved] Horrible Bug in Windows 10 File Manager

As far as I can tell if you have a desktop background wallpaper slideshow the problem will occur every time the background changes. I turned off the wallpaper slideshow and the problem did not occur. I like the slideshow though so I decided to just change
the time change to 1 minute and accept that windows 10 is bugged. hope that helps.

 

Slideshow stop working on window 10

I chose default window 10 desktop backgrounds for slideshow ,but today it stops on a single wallpaper instead of changing to all wallpapers while the setting is on slideshow. After that, I chose a single wallpaper but it automatically chose a solid color
and did not set that wallpaper. How can I fix it?

 

Check out this tutorial: How to Add or Remove 'Personalize (classic)' context menu in Windows 10 and you can get back the personalization of Win8.

 

HI Funkeeh

I tried the same thing to figure out what's happening

Got the SAME behaviour = we are unable to see the folder content

BUT the slideshow works ! I tried it with a 1 min delay and it display the pictures in my chosen folder although it doesn't show any pic inside lol ( all mine are *.jpg )

Surely fix in the future

Cheers

 

Me too... same problem with Desktop Background Slideshow and a folder of .jpg files. Nothing. Not functional. Weird.

 

I guess it doesn't matter that we don't see any pictures in the folder (because Windows does see them). Wish it did though.

This is the General Process:
1) I right clicked my desktop and selected "Personalize". The "Settings" window opens with the "Background" tab already selected.
2) At "Background" field, select SLIDESHOW
3) At the "Choose Album for Slide Show" field, click BROWSE. Browse to the folder with the pictures you want to display BUT DON'T BOTHER OPENING THE FOLDER, just click the "Choose this Folder" button.
4) Look at your desktop to see if one of your pictures displayed

 

No. No workie for me.

Is there a way to uncheck the 'Solved' flag?

*Huh
