wallpapers does not have an transition effect

Question

Thursday, November 2, 2017 11:36 PM

there seems to be some kind of issue with the transistion fade effect when the wallpaper is in slide show mode.also its changing of wallpapers is very sporadic it does not change on all my monitors at the same time it keeps changing randomly, also when i right click on the desktop and select "Next desktop background" it does not always take.I've tried the below method but to no luck.They do fade in & out, the option might've become turned off at some point during the upgrade. (Window animations were suddenly off for me once for no reason, so it's certainly possible)
Search "advanced system" and run "View advanced system settings". Under "Performance", make sure "Animate controls and elements inside Windows" is enabled. (That's the setting which also controls wallpaper transitions) If it is, try toggling it and see if that helps.

Hi Theletha,

They do fade in & out, the option might've become turned off at some point during the upgrade. (Window animations were suddenly off for me once for no reason, so it's certainly possible)

Search "advanced system" and run "View advanced system settings". Under "Performance", make sure "Animate controls and elements inside Windows" is enabled. (That's the setting which also controls wallpaper transitions) If it is, try toggling it and see if that helps.

Hope it will be helpful to you

Hi Theletha,

Thank you for your update.

I’m sorry for that. Based on my check again, you could try to check the option below.

Open Control Panel> Ease of Access > Make the computer easier to see. Here you will see a Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible) setting. Uncheck the box and click Apply.

For laptop, by default, the Slideshow feature does not work when a laptop that is unplugged from AC power. The reason should be obvious: power savings.

Hi,

Uncheck shuffle to check.

I suggest that you could create a new user account to check.

Hi,

After I set the slide show mode. It could be work fine. If the issue still insists after create a new user account, I consider that if some third party software or settings prevent it, you could perform a clean boot to check.

Also I consider that it may be related to the system files, I suggest that you'd better perform an In-place upgrade to check.
