It doesn't even change in the next 10 minutes.) If I use 10 minutes then sleep for 5 minutes, return from sleep, the background does not change in 5 minutes. The results show that the background changes, in general, at the next full 1 minute or 10 minutes clock cycle.I have done some tests with settings of 1 minute or 10 minutes, then sleeping (not hibernating) the computer for various amount of time.I can go a week without it changing automatically.I have set Background Slideshow to 'Change picture every' 1 Day.
To be clear, I am NOT talking about the screensaver settings found in Power Settings!. The transition isn’t seamless but it’s not too choppy. Also, if you shut your system down the second you changed your wallpaper, it may not have uploaded to Windows’ servers where it is then supposed to sync to your other system. If you’ve recently changed a wallpaper on one system and it hasn’t synced to your new system, give it a few minutes. Wallpapers take a little time to sync between different systems. Once you have the image, you can share it with someone who might have asked for it, use the image for something else, or use it as the wallpaper on a local account. The BMP files are large so you know you aren’t getting a horrible, pixelated image. Windows 10 doesn’t downgrade the quality too much. The synced wallpaper is in reasonably good quality. It also keeps a temporary backup of all the Windows 10 Spotlight images as well and you can move them to a permanent location if you want. It keeps this history so that, in the event you accidentally delete the original wallpaper file, your won’t lose your desktop background. It won’t have a copy of every single wallpaper ever but it will have a reasonably long history of them.
Windows 10 keeps a copy of every wallpaper that you use. If you move the files, and one of them is still in use, you will end up with a black wallpaper. You shouldn’t move any files from this folder unless you do not intend to use them. Inside this folder, you will see all your synced wallpapers. This will open File Explorer and you will see a ‘DesktopBackground’ folder. You can also enter it in the location bar in File Explorer. The quickest way to view all synced wallpapers on Windows 10 is to open the run box with the Win+R keyboard shortcut.
