5 Best Software To Change Wallpaper Automatically In Windows 10

This article talks about 5 best software to change wallpaper automatically in Windows 10. Modern operating systems, including the latest and greatest Windows 10, are incredibly customizable. This means that you can tweak not only the different OS settings, but nearly all the visual UI elements as well. And there’s hardly anything as customizable as the desktop background, also known as the wallpaper.

Now, there are countless freely available wallpapers on the web that you can download and use as desktop backgrounds for your computer. Apart from that, you can also use your own images as wallpapers. But doing so on a daily (or hourly, depending on how long it takes for you to get bored of a wallpaper) basis can get really boring. What if you could have the desktop background of your computer change automatically after a regular interval? That’d be awesome, right?

You’re in luck, as that’s exactly what automatic wallpaper changer applications, discussed in this write-up, let you do. Apart from that, these programs also include features like theme based playlists, dual monitor support, and much more. Ready for some desktop personalization? Let’s find out more about 5 best software to change wallpaper automatically in Windows 10.

Once installed, it keeps running in the system tray, and automatically sets the new Bing image as wallpaper whenever the same is available. You can also right click on it system tray icon to view the application’s limited set of options. These let you specify a default background position, and set whether to run the application at system startup or not.
