How to Automatically Change Wallpaper Daily in Windows 11
Changing the desktop background regularly helps to freshen up the work environment a bit and lifts the mood. But it’s frustrating if you have to change the wallpaper manually every day. How about we tell you that there are several ways to automate this process on your PC?
Change Your Desktop Wallpaper Automatically in Windows 11
We will show you eight ways to set your Windows 11 PC to change the desktop wallpaper automatically daily. The first few methods can be found in the Windows settings themselves. Let’s talk about them.
Windows Themes
One of the easiest ways to automate your desktop wallpapers is to use themes from the Microsoft Store. There you will find a variety of different themes, all of which contain multiple wallpapers that change automatically once you apply the theme. We recommend the Vector Art Premium, Rain in the City, and Earth From Above Premium themes.
These themes include a handful of wallpapers by default, but you can select a folder of downloaded wallpapers in the theme settings to rotate automatically. For more information, see our guide on how to apply themes in Windows 11.
Slideshow
The second best option for automatically changing the wallpaper in Windows 11 is the Slideshow option. You can find this option at Personalization > Background > Personalize your background in the Windows 11 settings.
Once you have selected the slideshow option, you will need to choose a specific folder on your computer that contains all the images you want to use as background images. You can also select an interval here for the background images to change.
Windows Spotlight
Windows Spotlight is similar to a slideshow, but instead of using images from your local storage, it pulls images from the Internet and also tells you what the image means or where it was taken. Windows Spotlight is a great option for people who can not decide what to choose as their wallpaper. It includes photos taken by some of the most talented photographers from around the world. Thus, you can travel around the world directly from your computer.
Wallpaper Engine
Wallpaper Engine is one of the most popular wallpaper carousel apps. It is a paid application, but it offers many features worth spending money on—the huge selection of wallpapers spans across several categories. You can choose between static and live wallpapers, and if you really want to get personal, you can even create your own wallpapers here. There are options like specific time intervals, rotation cycles, etc. Wallpaper Engine is one of the most versatile wallpaper applications you can find on the Internet.
