Windows 11/10/8.1 users have the slide show feature for their Lock Screen. The Lock Screen slide show plays beautiful panning and animation of images, and it works great if you have a high-resolution wallpaper collection on your system. However, if you find that even after configuring the slide show, the Lock Screen does not play as it should, then you must reset the settings and re-configure the slide show. You should know however that, by default, the desktop wallpaper slideshow feature will be turned off when on battery.
If you’re on battery and then the slide show will play and the time for which it plays, the laptop eats up the battery power. So, if you deactivate the slide show on the battery, then the laptop will go to sleep mode earlier, and thus we can save some power that would have been wasted in playing the slide show. In this article, we’ll show you how to disable or enable the slide show presentation when you’re on battery or non-charging mode in the case of laptops.
