    Window 10 Background Personalisation


    I have a third party app that updates my background every 25 minuets. That means I cannot use the slideshow setting in personalisation.


    How can I change the default choose a fit setting so that my image is the perfect fit every time it updates? The default choose a fit setting is fill.


    I have found some sources suggesting changing it in the edit group policy settings but this doesnt appear to be a feature on windows 10.


    Thank you.

    :)

    Background Personalisation

    I have created my own Slideshow for Background in the Personalisation options.

    Change Picture Every 1 minute is the fastest option available.

    The frequency of change on Windows 8.1 could be set to 10 or 20 seconds.

    How can I increase the Change Picture speed please?

    I am using two monitors.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
