How do I set up the Win10 system to open a wallpaper slide show without power?

How to put the slide background on the win10 system? Teach you how to continue to keep your wallpaper slide show working without a laptop or surface plugged into AC power. why? Because of the default slide show feature, it only works if your PC has a power plug.

How to turn on the slide show

It's super easy to turn on the slide show. However, you first need to create a folder for the wallpaper you want to loop through. I recommend creating a folder called a slide show under the picture folder. Once the folder is created, just copy and paste your image into this folder. If you like, you can even use the OneDrive folder as a slide show folder.

Remember, these wallpapers will be synced across all your Windows 10 devices, regardless of whether they are on the disk of these devices.

Now let's set up the slide show!

1. Click on the notification center to go to all settings

2.Personalization

3. Background

4 Select Slide Show from the Background drop-down menu

5. Select Browse

Navigate to your slide show folder, which is the folder you created before following the instructions. .

6. Setting the time interval

Select the time interval you like when you change the picture every xx minutes, which can be between 1 minute and 1 day. This setting refers to how often your system should automatically rotate your wallpaper. I chose every 10 minutes for my system, but some of you might like to change it once a day. Anyway, how do you choose!

7. Select a fit

This option is completely optional. But most people will choose a suitable fit under this setting. If your wallpaper is small, you might want it to be tiled or stretched.

For the benefit of those who like a clean desktop, if you are running the system on multiple monitors, each monitor will run separate/different wallpapers from your photo gallery. I have to admit that it is also very interesting to watch three separate wallpapers looping on my PC host.

How to start a wallpaper slide show without power plug-in

By default, if the notebook is not plugged into AC power, the slide show will not work. The reason should also be obvious: in order to save electricity.

We don't know how much power is wasted in automatically replacing wallpapers, especially for settings that change wallpapers one hour or more. Regardless, the system defaults to suspend this feature before you plug in a reliable power source for your computer. So, if you use the slide show feature on the surface PRO 3, it's still weird, why the wallpaper doesn't change automatically, that's why you're looking for it.

However, you can also easily override this setting with system tools. Just remember, although this doesn't seem like a too much operation, it will shorten your battery life. Then let's get started now!

1. Right-click on the Start menu

2. Select Power Options

3. Change Plan Settings

Select Change Plan Settings, depending on Which of your power plans (or all power plans) is active.

4. Advanced

More deeply, on this page, you need to choose to change the advanced power settings.

5. Desktop Background Settings

In this area, double-click on the desktop background setting to expand the tree view. You should now see the settings for the slide show. One is to use a battery while the other is to use a power source. Under the Battery Item menu, change it from pause to start. Now choose OK and you're done.

This is the case! Now, no matter how the state changes, the slide show running on your notebook or Surface will not change. Of course, if you find that the battery life is shortened too much, you can simply go back to the above steps and change it to pause under the Battery option.
