  2. Photos slideshow

    Hi Michael,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.



    I understand the inconvenience that you are unable view the photos in slideshow as it repeats after few photos and need to know “How can I change this to show a continuous and non-repeating slideshow?”. We will help you to
    resolve this issue.



    Please let us know,


    • Where does the photos folder located?

    • Did you try to change the folder location and check?


    I suggest you to follow the below steps:

    Step 1: If the photos folder is located on the desktop, try to create another folder and copy all the content to the newly created folder and add this folder for slideshow and check.



    Step 2: Try to create new folder if different location and copy all the content to the newly created folder in different location and add this folder for slideshow and check.



    Hope it helps. Please perform the above methods and update the status of this issue, we will be happy to help you.

  3. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    The folder isn’t supported because of its location Slideshow error

    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions
