W10 Slideshow
I am annoyed that the minimum period for a slideshow change is 10 minutes - is there a registry setting I can tweak it to 5 please?

Try this:
Type Win + R (to open the windows run command
Paste this into the run dialog and choose OK: control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper
The dialog in the image below should open
In the Change picture drop down, adjust the interval... (it provides from 10 seconds to many other choices)
(Note: I don't have Win 10, so I could not test)...

Re: W10 Slideshow
Thanks, Rudi. That works in Windows 10 too. Note that you MUST set the desktop background to Slideshow first, otherwise the interval dropdown will be disabled.
Alternatively:
Click the Windows key.
Type regedit and press Enter.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Personalization\Desktop Slideshow
Set the Interval value in the right-hand pane to the number of milliseconds you want. In the screenshot below it is set to 1 minute (60 seconds = 60000 milliseconds).

I well remember these settings from Win7, because I could set to ten seconds and then check my set of wallpapers withing two sips of coffee. Nowadays (six years later!) this is all i get.
I suspect that this is another "Windows Improvement for You" (WIY?) change.
But I would like to check that I am in the right place.
I see Hans's suggestion of diving into the registry, which I can do (and have located at least one setting for "SlideshowDuration"), but before I meddle again in Registry I would like to confirm that the Win10 fine-scale setting for duration has really gone, and I'm not just confused (again!)
Thanks
Chris

Re: W10 Slideshow
I assume that Microsoft wanted to make it "easier". There is no way to specify the interval in the interface except the one in your screenshot.

Re: W10 Slideshow
Thank you, Hans.
Once the rain stops, I shall go outside and take it out on the garden by stamping down a few dozen zucchini tendrils before lunch.
I suppose there is no way to speed up my CPU by a factor of sixty to make the 10-minute delay become ten seconds?
Cheers
Chris

Re: W10 Slideshow
The registry setting:
Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Personalization\Desktop Slideshow in the left hand pane.
The Interval value in the right-hand pane specifies the interval in milliseconds. In the screenshot below, it is set to 60000 ms, i.e. to 60 seconds = 1 minute.
To change it to 10 seconds, set to to 10000 decimal.
Restart Windows.

Re: W10 Slideshow
Thanks Hans. This works for me.
Of course, once it worked at ten seconds, I had to change it to make it better. At this point Windows started to sulk and said that "ten seconds is the minimum", so now I am sulking too
Cheers
Chris
