Windows 11 Desktop Background

Seeking to personalize my desktop background.

 

I've selected a folder for images.  The folder has sub-folders and Windows doesn't seem to know what to do with sub-folders, none of the images are being selected for desktop background.

 

Any ideas?

    To personalize your Windows 11 desktop background with images from a folder that contains sub-folders, you need to set the slideshow settings correctly. Windows 11's slideshow feature allows you to select a main folder, but it doesn't automatically include images from sub-folders unless you specify that option.
