says:There are two type of applications for “slide show” at least. One is desktop background, and the other is screen saver. On “screen saver” the slides SPAN three monitors, and, thus, are mostly off the screen. How can I get it to FIT on all applications?
UnLucky
says:Even with it disabled in the power settings, my background still automatically changes and it’s really annoying. Especially since I have one vertical display, so everything gets cropped all terribly when it switches to a widescreen image, and vice versa on the other monitor when it gets a portrait.
Why isn’t there a “Change picture: [NEVER]” option? I want to choose how to personalize my own computer, not let Microsoft decide.

charles
says:This unfortunately does not address my problem. I have recently installed Windows 10 and wish to have the background as one of the Windows themes operating as a slide show. However although I can do this with my own photographs I cannot do it with any windows theme. It will only allow the slideshow option with my own photographs. The windows theme will provide a fixed background, which can be changed occasionally manually but the slide show will not work. Is this a known fault or is this a peculiarity of my laptop. I would be most grateful if you can solve this annoying feature.
