  1. why can't I choose slideshow in personalize options?


    I have been setting up my desktop for slideshow forever. Suddenly today my desktop was clear no image. I went into personalize and attempted to choose slideshow from desktop setup menu. It does not work, assigning picture instead. What's going on?

  2. I am missing the slideshow option under personalize; theme; theme settings.

    Could you clarify? At what point do the steps break down?

    I go to the Start menu by clicking on the Windows logo on the bottom left of my screen.

    I click on the Settings option to open up the Settings application.

    I click Personalization from the list of options.

    I see that I'm on the Background page now.

    I select "Slideshow" from the top dropdown on that page.

    I make some slideshow choices.

    Yay!

  3. How can I put a photo slideshow on shuffle? Where are all the slideshow options?

    Some slideshow functionality is built into the Photos screen saver located in Start > Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen

    Scroll down, click Screen saver settings

    Click in the list box, choose Photos

    Choose your folder then select it

    Choose the Shuffle option

    Thats about it. A lot of older desktop functionality in Windows 10 is being phased out.

    You should send in feedback and suggestions to have them restored.

    Press Windows key + F to launch the Feedback hub and send in your suggestions.
