    Turn Old Windows Laptop into a Permanent Slideshow


    I have over 20,000 pictures on my laptop. Most people I know do not sit and scroll through their photos. I have an old Surface I do not use anymore and want to turn it into a scrolling picture frame. I can buy a dedicated "Digital Picture Frame", but they typically have only a fraction of the memory e.g., 25% of my current photos.For many years I have been surprised that there is no simple or even complex Windows software or app that will turn my laptop into a digital picture frame, particularly when I am not using it.I have tried some of the Windows features such as "Personalization" and

  3. 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.

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
