How can Windows 10 Change Desktop every 10 seconds like in Windows 7

In Windows 7, for Desktop Background; you can use photos from My pictures (after browsing to location) and change the image/picture every 10 seconds.  This 10 second change feature does not appear available in Windows 10.   You can use pictures, but there appears to be no 10 second change option. 

1.  Is there any way to change desktops every 10 seconds with Windows 10? 

2.  How could I or someone bring this to MS attention, so they could eventually  create an update to restore this lost feature ?

Hi,

If you want to set intervals of your choice, you can do it by modifying the registry. Please follow the below steps to set the slideshow intervals:

1. Open Run and type regedit.exe

2. Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Personalization\Desktop Slideshow

In here, the two important values are the Interval, and Shuffle.

 Double click on Shuffle, and change the value to 1. OK.

Then change the Interval by double clicking on it. You'll first want to change the Base to Decimal, rather than Hexadecimal (otherwise you'll get unexpected interval values). Then change the value to your desired time, in milliseconds (10000ms for 10 seconds).

You can exit regedit now. The final step is to restart Explorer. You can do this through Task Manager if you know how, otherwise simply restart your computer.

Hope this information is helpful. Please reply with the results, we will be glad to help you further.

Thank you.
