Question

Screen wallpapers

Apr 9, 2020 8:58AM PDT

I use a HP desktop and Windows 10.
I am simply bewildered in figuring out how to set screen wallpapers of my choice from one of the web sites providing them. There has to be some simple method for accomplishing that. Thank you!

For example, I have in my "This PC > Desktop > Images" about 30 pictures from an image web site. I would like to have those pictures rotate once a minute on one of my two screens (Screen #2).

You would have to experiment to see how you can work on one screen while the second screen shows just the desktop. Use Windows-key + P to show to screens.

That's not a website. That's a result page of a search engine (commonly called SERP).

Step 1: Download the picture to your hard disk. Preferably use a picture that has the same resolution (number of pixels, like 1920x1080) as your screen, of use your favorite image editor to make it that size. The site should have instructions on how to download it. Or right-click on the picture in your browser and choose download. Of course, you can use one of your own pictures (from example your cat, your beloved one, or your latest vacation) also, but it seems you prefer to download one.
Step 2: In Settings>Personalisation>Background browse to that picture to set it as wallpaper. Or make a slideshow with rotating images from a folder.
