You can also follow along on my How To Get New Themes in Windows 10 tutorial too!Īnd that’s it. Anyway, if you want to pick some additional themes for your computer to get a better desktop wallpaper slideshow, just below where it shows your current theme it has a link to “get more themes”. That’s really all I care about in a theme, actually: I don’t want goofy cursor images and I never have audio unmuted so sounds are pointless. This is a free download from Microsoft (thanks, Microsoft!) and you can see that it has a 14 image slideshow background library as part of the theme package. A click on that and you’ll see what theme – if any! – you have selected. While we’re here, wondering where to get some really nice background wallpapers? On the main Backgrounds window there’s a link on the left to “Themes”. I choose “30 minutes” as my default so that it’s something that happens without me having to pay any attention to it when I’m working or playing.
Why anyone would want to have their image changed that frequently is a bit beyond me. My guess is that your son simply changed this to “change ever 1 minute”. Here you can choose from a slideshow, solid color or static picture as your desktop image, but it’s the setting that’s at the bottom of the main column that’s most of interest, “Change picture every…”. Convenient.Ĭlick or tap on “ Background image settings” on your Windows system to proceed. Let’s get this fixed, however! Start out by searching for ‘background’ in the search box:Īs you can see, it suggests “background image settings” which is exactly what you want. It’s easy to add a new local user too, as I detail: How to add new users to Windows 10. Before we get there, though, you might consider setting up a separate account for him on your computer so that in the future he can monkey with his own layout, themes and features without affecting your own experience. In this instance, the changes that your son has made on your Windows PC are pretty simple and the remedy is simple too. The rest of us have no option but to learn more about these programs, apps and systems too, if nothing else than just to keep up. Ya know, did parents 500 years ago have these problems with their kids being mischievous? Probably, though it was a lot more analog than digital back then, I’m sure! Nowadays kids are so comfortable with tech as part of the so-called digital generation that they seem to understand both the regular use of and tricky secret settings in every app better than even the developers who programmed it.
