Oddly enough it seemed to work before with the default picture set, but when I tried to set it to a folder in my OneDrive it doesn't switch over, and not even any other folder works. Slideshow lists two folders (pictures, OneDrive desktop) but they are both greyed out and unclickable.
Help? Thanks.
I am having the same issue but not using OneDrive, just trying to have it use the folder on my computer "Pictures."
The reason your Slide Show is not working is because by default your Slide Show is paused in Windows 10. You will need to:
This had to do with the Power schemes. This is what fixed mine!
Type edit power planin the Start Searchbox, and then click Edit power plan.
Click Change advanced power settings.
Select Available in Desktop background settings->Slide show.
That's it you should see the background changing.
Hopefully that helps.
Thanks for the reply, but mine already does say available. Hmm... any other ideas?
This worked for me:Thanks for the reply, but mine already does say available. Hmm... any other ideas?
My advanced settings were fine slideshow was "available" under power options, but it wouldn't work.
personalize> background> I changed my background to picture and opened a new picture under browse
THen I waited about 5 or more minutes... was browsing this forum.
I switched it back to Slideshow and it was working again.
MAybe the settings needed time to adjust? idk but I have a new fast pc so it may be a delay bug in programming somewhere I guess.
It stopped working again but I found a permanent solution!
I copied all the pictures from the "pictures" folder and put them in the "Saved pictures" folder and personalize>browse>pictures>saved pictures and selected "saved pictures" folder to display slideshow and it's been working ever since!
