Windows 10: where are all my photos I can see as screen savers but not in my pictures folder?

I am using Windows 10 and cannot locate photos that I can see only as screen savers. Is there a hidden folder for them?

screen saver

Hello,

This is how to set photos as your screensaver:

Step 1: Open Settings app. Navigate to Personalization > Lock Screen.

Step 2: Scroll down the Lock Screen settings page to see Screensaver settings link. Click Screen Saver settings link to open the classic Screen Saver Settings dialog.

Step 3: From the list of screensavers available, choose Photos from the drop-down dialog.

Step 4: By default, Windows 10 uses photos saved in the Pictures folder for the screensaver. If you want to change this location, click the Settings button to open Photos Screen Saver Settings dialog.

Step 5: Click the Browse button, select a folder and then click Ok button. Click Apply.

Note: If there are sub-folders under the selected folder, photos in subfolders will be used for screen savers as well. This may help since you want all of your photos to rotate.

You can have as many pictures as you like rotating and if you want to change them, just select a different folder or add and remove as desired to the existing folder.

I hope this helps!

Screen Saver Will Sometimes State No Pictures In Folder


Build 10537 (64 bit) same was true in prior builds.

I use the Pictures folder for a random slide show as a screen saver. Every now and then (I cannot intentionally duplicate the issue), the screen saver will start, go to a black screen, then state there are no pictures in the Pictures Folder.

This is incorrect, and in a screen saver preview, the pictures will display; and most often they also display during a normal screen saver engage. It appears to be a random glitch.

I also note that in prior Windows OS, such as 7, the pictures display immediately when the screen saver engages; in Win 10 the screen will remain dark for a longer periods prior to the pictures beginning to display.

Other screen savers, such as Mystify, begin displaying normally.
