    Background slideshow stopped and is no longer available in 'Personalise'


    I have a fresh-install W11 late i5 CPU, AMD Rad HD5800 series graphics card. On the whole it's working fine; I have run /scannow in Powershell and no issues are thrown up. However, whilst for the first few days my Background Slideshow worked just fine as it had under W10 with an older CPU+graphics card it suddenly stopped and all I got was my plain black wallpaper. If I go into Personalise Display and try to select Slideshow it immediately reverts to Picture. Now, this occurred as I recall at the point I moved the images folder PNG and JPG only I was using from camera roll to the deskt

    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.

    Background slideshow stopped and is no longer available in 'Personalise'

    slideshow background no longer different on 2 monitors

    Hello

    For years I've run the background slideshow feature (Personalisation: Background) with different photos on each of my 2 monitors by default. Since the most recent update (Windows 10 bult 19041) the same photo is now on both monitors. Can't see how to change
    this in the "Personalisation: Background" window. Hopefully the purchase of specialised software to do this is not now required ??!!
