    Shorten interval between showing wallpaper images-How?


    Right now, the shortest interval that wallpaper images in a slide show is 1 minute. I like looking at the pictures and would like to shorten the interval between pictures to anywhere between 15 and 30 seconds. Hoping there is some kind of hack that will allow for this...

    :)

    cant even give the time interval between two wallpaper for a desktop slide show

  3. How to change the time interval between desktop theme pictures in Windows 10

    Hi zachd

    I got the same message as M4R71N.

    However I know what the issue is. I copied and pasted your command in to a command prompt (cmd) rather than Win + R and a space was entered between "page" and "wallpaper".

    Here is the paste when it is copied and pasted:

    control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page page Wallpaper

    I deleted the space between the page and wallpaper and it then worked.

    I also tried it again but the space was missing on the third try when copying and pasting.

    I also tried it in the Win + R "Open" and it pasted correctly.

    I am not sure why the extra space was entered the first few times I used it but if it happens to anyone else then just look for that extra space.

    Do you mean:

    Settings > Personalisation > Background > Slideshow?

    where you can set the interval of your OWN images?

    I think myself and others are meaning:

    Settings > Personalisation > Background > Themes

    where we want to set the interval for the THEME pictures, and the ability to change the THEME interval (not own image slideshow) under Themes > Theme settings is not there. You get exactly as in the first pasted screen image above with no controls for interval
    setting.

    I don't know, Shawn. Going to #6>Desktop Background only gets me to choose between "Available" or "Pause." Changing to either one of these choices doesn't seem to make any difference. Still, the best I could do was 1 minute between pictures. I'd like to dictate a faster rate of movement between pictures. Perhaps, I am missing something?

    EDIT: Lazy me, I should have done this before posting the question. I Googled and came up with this solution:
    It seems that in my subconscious I had remembered (only after seeing the solution, though) that with Windows 7 I did have the picture interval at way less than a minute. The solution does bring you to the "old" dropdown for this setting in which you now have the opportunity to set the interval at 10sec and 30sec...along with the settings that Windows 10 initially gives. Anyway, I'm now using 10sec intervals, and all is working fine.
