One of the first things people do when they customize their computer is change the wallpaper. Many people grow tired of seeing the same wallpaper over and over and must manually change it at regular intervals. If you’re one of those people, there’s a way to have the background wallpaper change automatically.
The Windows 11 operating system includes a slideshow feature that updates the background with a new wallpaper every few minutes or at the user-specified time interval. You can also choose a folder from which the system will continue to shuffle the photographs.
This step-by-step instruction will show you how to enable background wallpaper auto-shuffling on your Windows 11 PC.
How to auto shuffle background wallpaper in Windows 11
Step 1: Open the Personalize settings on your Windows 11 computer. For this, right-click anywhere in the black area on your desktop and select “Personalize” from the menu.
Step 2: When the Personalization settings open, select “Background” from the right-side pane.
Step 3: After that, select the “Slideshow” option from the available options in “Personalize your background.”
Step 4: You can choose a folder from where the images for the background wallpaper will be used for the slideshow or auto shuffling. For this, click on the “Browse” button in the “Choose a picture album for a slideshow” section.
Step 5: Now, you will be able to set the time interval for when Windows 11 will automatically change images. For this, select the time duration from the drop-down menu in the “Change picture every” option.
Step 8: Once you are done setting the time interval, toggle the button ON for “Shuffle the picture order.”
As the wallpaper, your Windows 11 computer will now display a slideshow of photographs from the selected folder, which will update at the time interval you specify. Depending on your tastes, you can further modify the settings by enabling the option for “Let slideshow run even if I’m on battery” or “Choose a fit for your desktop image.”
