    To set your background picture to a slideshow in Windows 11, you can follow these steps:

    1. Right-click on the Desktop and select Personalize.
    2. In the Personalization settings, click on Background.
    3. Under the Background dropdown menu, select Slideshow.
    4. Choose the folder that contains the images you want to use for the slideshow by clicking on Browse.
    5. Set the Change picture every option to specify how often you want the images to change.
    6. You can also choose whether to shuffle the images by toggling the Shuffle option.
    7. Once you have configured your settings, close the settings window, and your slideshow background will be set.

    Additionally, if you're managing devices in an enterprise environment, you can enable the desktop background slideshow through Group Policy settings using the EnableDesktopSlideShowDC and EnableDesktopSlideShowAC policies, which allow you to specify if the slideshow should be enabled on battery or when plugged in.

    Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

    To set your lock screen background to Slideshow:

    • Open Settings. Go to Personalization > Background.
    • Under Personalize your background, choose Slideshow.
    • Select the folder containing the pictures you want to use.
    • Choose how often the picture changes and whether it should shuffle.

    If the option isn’t appearing or nothing happens after selecting the folder, let me know what you see on your end, any error message or if the slideshow option is grayed out.

    Click "Add comment" to let me know.

    Regards,

    John J.D.
