Windows 11 does not support a full-screen photo slideshow with settings to show all pictures in random order or control the speed the way older versions did. The built-in Photos app in Windows 11 no longer includes those classic slideshow options.
Two simple options are supported:
- Use desktop background slideshow
- Open Settings > Personalization > Background.
- Choose Slideshow.
- Select the folder that contains the 200 pictures.
- Turn on Shuffle if wanted.
- Choose the time interval.
This works for the desktop background, not for a full-screen photo viewer.
- Make sure Windows is using the correct folder
- In Settings > Personalization > Background > Slideshow, select the exact folder in My Pictures that contains all 200 images.
- If pictures are spread across different folders, only the selected folder will be used.
If the goal is a full-screen slideshow and Windows keeps looping only a smaller set, that feature is limited in Windows 11 Photos. A practical workaround is to use Photos Legacy or another slideshow app.
