Windows 10: Windows 10 background slideshow

Anyone able to tell me why the Windows 10 picture album I set as my background slideshow disappears when I shut down my computer, and I have to reload it every time I turn the machine on and sign in??? Any way to fix this, or is this yet another glitch in the "wonderful" Windows 10??? Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

heck if Desktop slideshow is turned on

Well, the desktop slideshow feature will not work if it’s turned off. So it’s important to make sure that the feature is enabled under Settings.

To check the status of desktop slideshow feature:

Step 1: Right-click on the empty area of desktop, click Personalize, and then click Background.

Step 2: Under the Background section, make sure that Slideshow option is selected.

Allow slideshow when on battery

With default settings, Windows 10 doesn’t automatically change the desktop background picture when your PC is running on battery power to improve the backup time. In short, the desktop slideshow doesn’t work when the PC is using battery power.

However, you can configure Windows 10 to allow slideshow feature when on battery by following given below steps.

Step 1: Right-click on desktop, click Personalize, and then click Background.

Step 2: Turn on the option labelled Allow slideshow when on battery feature to force Windows 10 to automatically change the desktop background even if the PC is running on battery power.

Check the number of wallpapers in the selected folder

As you likely know, while enabling the desktop slideshow feature, Windows 10 asks you to select a folder containing pictures that you want to use for the slideshow feature.

If the slideshow is not working, make sure that the folder you selected has at least two pictures as Windows 10 can’t automatically change the desktop background if there is only one picture inside the selected folder.

 

It is not a glitch in Windows 10, since mine works in a dual monitors setup with the pics on each monitor cycling every other minute. After Windows Updates when I have to restart, the same folder of pics is used. The only nit is that the module doesn't remember the last pics displayed and resumes from there. It always go back to the first pic after a reboot.

In the past (with Windows 10 and prior) when I lost its desired function, changed systems settings with User Interface were involved.

BTW, my pics folder is nested in a created folder on the C:\ drive.

 

Thanks for the information. I think that, since this computer is networked with another, I am getting a combination of pics from both background setups, similar to background themes for gmail and g-calendar which also are the same across the network. The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know about these things. Thanks again.
