This Windows 10 beginners guide will help you enable Slideshow in Windows 10 and have it run even when your computer is not plugged in.

How to enable Slideshow in Windows 10:

Having Slideshow on your computer helps you get new looks on the desktop as the operatingsystem changes the wallpapers after every few minutes or hours (as set by the user). Here is how to easily enable Slideshow in Windows 10 and have the OS change the wallpapers even when on battery. Slideshows only work when your computer is plugged in, as a default setting. Before enabling Slideshow, you will have to create a folder carrying all your favorite wallpapers. Either create a new folder and name it asSlideshow folderor use a OneDrive folder.

From Start Menu> click onSettings.Go toPersonalization> and click on theBackgroundtab on the left hand menu.In the Background drop menu, selectSlideshow.You will now be asked to select your album from where Windows 10 will repeat the wallpapers.Click on Browseto locate the Slideshow Folder that you have created.windows 10 slideshowNow set the time interval after which the wallpaper would be changed to a new one. Go toChange picture everyand select your time preference from 1 minute to 1 day. If you don't want to see a new wallpaper every few minutes, you can go for a day's interval to have a new wallpaper to help you start your day with new looks.You can also decide if the wallpapers should fill the screen, show in tiles or stretch. Select whichever is your preference.

Now are the steps to have theslideshow run even when your device is not plugged into the power source. We wouldn't recommend this setting as slideshows have often been tagged with increased battery usage. However, it's totally up to you and might be a helpful trick if you have only set the slideshow to change the images after an entire day's interval.

Right-click on the Start menu to get access to some power tools.windows 10 slideshowClick on Power Optionswhich will take you to control panel settings.Now, click on theChange plan settingslink.Click onChange advanced power settings.In this new window, scroll down toDesktop background settingsand expand it.enable slideshow windows 10 on batteryUnder this tree, click onSlide showand changeOn batterytoAvailable.
