    Windows 11 default wallpapers are some of the best ones from Microsoft. The main default background includes dark and light mode versions featuring a crumpled pieces of fabric.

    In case, you’re not a fan of default Windows 11 wallpapers or fed up with seeing the same, then the good thing is you can replace it with something that you like.

    In Windows 11, you can personalize the desktop background as per your choice. You can either set desktop backgrounds available online or set a photo available on your device. And did I forget to tell you, solid colors are also an option for you!

    Next, you will have to select the fit for your desktop image. Click on the drop-down menu next to the Choose a fit for your desktop image option, and select the size of your image.

    Choose a Solid as Desktop Wallpaper in Windows 11

    Select the Solid Color option from the drop-down menu. Next, you can choose your background color.

    In case, you don’t have one, then make a new folder and copy all the images you want to set as your slideshow.

    After that, you need to set the time period after which the image will change automatically. For that, click on the drop-down menu next to the Change picture every and then select the time.

    Slideshow Time

    You can select a time interval between 1 minute to 1 day.

    The above mentioned are basic settings to set Slideshow as background in Windows 11. Apart from that, you can also manage other settings:

    • If you want to shuffle the picture, then enable the toggle for the Shuffle the picture order. 
    • If you are using a laptop, and want the slideshow to run on battery power as well, then enable the toggle for Let Slideshow run even if I’m on battery power.
