Changing the wallpaper on Windows 10
Here are two simple methods anyone can try to change the wallpaper on Windows 10. Break free from the monotony of your default interface by choosing one of these two methods.
Setting wallpaper directly from an image
This is the simplest way to change your Windows 10 wallpaper. You can apply this method to any Windows OS, including Windows 10. Note that this method supports only one image for your desktop.
Step 1: Access your photo library and select a suitable image for your desktop wallpaper. It could be your own photo or one downloaded for desktop backgrounds. You can browse Softbuzz’s wallpaper collections at.
Step 2: Hover over the image → Right-click → Select Set as desktop background.
Step 3: Go back to the home screen to see the results.
Note: If you want to use your own photos as wallpapers, choose high-resolution images to ensure they fill the screen clearly without pixelation. Low-resolution images may only be centered with black borders around.
Changing wallpaper via Personalize on Windows 10
To make your computer more lively, here’s how to set a wallpaper that changes automatically. You can adjust how often the wallpaper changes in seconds. The steps are simple:
Step 1: Click on the Windows icon or press the Windows key, then select Settings to open the Personalize window with Background. You can also right-click on anywhere on the desktop and choose Personalize for quicker access.
Step 2: In the Background dialog, there are four options to set your wallpaper:
- Picture: Choose from existing Windows collection.
- Solid Color: Your desktop will have a single color.
- Slideshow: The wallpaper will change continuously.
- Browse: Pick images saved on your drive.
Since this is about changing the wallpaper continuously, we will focus on the Slideshow section.

- Change picture every: Set interval (e.g., 10s, 15s, 30s).
- Shuffle: Turn ON to randomize; switch OFF to follow order.
