    Desktop Backgrounds


    Hi Group,
    When I choose "Personalize", I choose "slideshow", browse, The folder I choose appears to have no images in it. But if I navigate to the same folder normally, all the images are there. Any ideas? Thanks. Windows 10.

    What file type are the photos in? I suspect they need to be .jpg/.jpeg & .bmp.
    Can you open another folder containing these file types to see if the suggestion is correct?

    The pictures you are talking about should be in . . .

    > %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles

    I do NOT understand what you mean.

    I hope this helps.

    You are misunderstanding what are being asked to select. You are supposed to select a folder for your slideshow not the pictures in it. The slideshow option is not supposed to show you pictures. It is only going to show you folders to select from.

    This is a folder that you had previously created and copied pictures to it. After that is done you select that folder for your slideshow.
