    Problem with the Wallpaper slideshow (Windows 10)


    I want my background to switch between my wallpapers in a slideshow like I did in win7 and 8, but for some reason Windows 10 is not able to find the pictures in my folder.

    Example:
    Problem with the Wallpaper slideshow (Windows 10)-error1.png

    But as you can see, this folder is filled with pictures:
    Problem with the Wallpaper slideshow (Windows 10)-error2.png

    I have no idea why this happens. All the pictures are jpg and/or png. The same problem occurs when i try to change the wallpaper in the "lock screen" settings.

    Any help is appreciated :)

    HI Funkeeh

    I tried the same thing to figure out what's happening

    Got the SAME behaviour = we are unable to see the folder content

    BUT the slideshow works ! I tried it with a 1 min delay and it display the pictures in my chosen folder although it doesn't show any pic inside lol ( all mine are *.jpg )

    Surely fix in the future

    Cheers

    I guess it doesn't matter that we don't see any pictures in the folder (because Windows does see them). Wish it did though.

    This is the General Process:
    1) I right clicked my desktop and selected "Personalize". The "Settings" window opens with the "Background" tab already selected.
    2) At "Background" field, select SLIDESHOW
    3) At the "Choose Album for Slide Show" field, click BROWSE. Browse to the folder with the pictures you want to display BUT DON'T BOTHER OPENING THE FOLDER, just click the "Choose this Folder" button.
    4) Look at your desktop to see if one of your pictures displayed

    No. No workie for me.

    Is there a way to uncheck the 'Solved' flag?
