  1. Wallpaper changes from Slideshow to a Picture right when I switch desktops


    Every time I switch to another desktop, I see my background change to a still picture. I have tried switching the desktops using a key combination - WIN + Ctrl + Left/Right arrow key and also by clicking on the desktops icon on the taskbar and selecting another desktop. The issue happens with either.

    :)

  2. Why does wallpaper keep changing from Slideshow to Picture when switching between desktops?

    Right after the latest update, the wallpaper settings keep changing from Slideshow to Picture on its own when I switch between desktops. I have never encountered this problem before.

    Desktop wallpaper slideshow does not randomly select pictures, and cannot change the folder.

    I'm using Windows 10, 64-bit.

    Over the last few days, I noticed that the desktop wallpaper images do not change to random pictures, but goes in sequence. Also I cannot change the selected pictures folder I want to use for my desktop wallpaper slideshow.

    Any suggestions?

    I want that on my desktop Automatic wallpaper change

    Hello,

    This is Sudha Independent Advisor and user like you. Please follow below steps to solve your issue

    Windows has a built-in slideshow feature that can automatically change your wallpaper after a set interval. This feature only works with your own collection of wallpapers so the wallpapers must be downloaded first.

    Below is a step-by-step explanation on how to use this feature:

    1. Windows 10 only accepts a single folder containing wallpaper collection. So first, put all your favorite wallpapers in a single folder.

    2. Now move to Windows Settings > Personalize > Background. Here click on the drop-down menu below Background and select Slideshow.

    3. Afterward, click on the Browse button below and select the wallpaper collection folder you created.

    4. To set the interval, click on the drop-down menu below the Change picture every heading and select the required interval (ranging from 1 minute to 1 day).

    That’s it, now your desktop screen will automatically switch to a new wallpaper after the set interval.
