W7 desktop background slideshow stopped, including subfolders

I have W7 Home premium 64 bit on 2 computers laptops home.

For about 2 years I had (on both of them) wallpaper slide show set to show pictures of my images, change from time to time. This big folder contains many subfolders. Recently, it seems that the slide show does not include the contents of all the sub folders, only the photos in the folder root itself. There is no option to 'include subfolders' on the settings for wallpaper window.
Playback of other users having the same question on their PC, I don't think that it is a bug that popped up right on my machines, but it seems that Windows has decided to remove this feature for reasons unknown.
On another thread on the same topic on this site, I followed someone's suggestions to solve the problem, for example by creating a new user of the PC, etc. None of this has worked.
Could you clarify our position?
Thank you

I think I found a solution for me.

Previously, as I said, I had my images selected, and it automatically used the photos of all of its subfolders. It is more the fact, but if I select Photo library as a source instead of this, it uses all of the subfolders without me having to 'include' all one by one (which makes no difference).
But I am not wiser about why the screen saver functionality has changed in this way. I don't see how it could be down to any 'changes' I made to my PC.

  • Desktop Background slideshow is stopped after Windows Update

    I have my computer and automatic updates from Microsoft. I received a number of Microsoft updates on 14/02/13. After the reboot, the background slide show feature has stopped working. The background alone, that I can use now is a solid color. If I select a single image or images and save the value, the background does not change. The bottom icon temporarily shows a slide show and then switch back to solid in seconds by itself. It was working fine before the update. Once I connected after the reboot, the bottom just went blue. I tried all different background options and the only one that works are solid colors. I can change the color scheme, but can't get images to display. How the background slide show to work after Microsoft updates? Y at - there an update I can remove it to restore the function?

    I was able to fix the problem by replacing the "TranscodedWallpaper.jpg" file and clear the contents of the file "slideshow.ini" in my... Directory of \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes. Not sure that is actually solved the problem. I deleted the "TranscodedWallpaper.jpg" file and replaced with an image file. I selected all (cntl-a) in the ini file, even if it looked empty, delete the entire contents and saved. Then I closed all Windows Explorer Windows and the background went to the image. Then I was able to pick my theme with background transitions and it worked.

    Obviously, updates of windows which took place on 14/02/13 caused one or more of these files to become corrupted.

    I hope this helps someone else.

    Updates of pilot - which you should never accept Windows Update (for XP) - are "optional" and do not install automatically.

    You can also set Windows Update to download but not install updates (until you look over and decide which ones to install) or to inform you that updates are available.  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525/en-us

    And if you don't want to be constantly offered a particular optional update, simply check the box for ": hide this update" (or "don't show me this update again") - http://z8.invisionfree.com/ComputerHelp/index.php?showtopic=676

  • "Remote Desktop connection has stopped working" problem on Windows 7.

    When I try to connect to one of my Windows 2003 servers from my Windows 7 Ultimate pc, I get an error:
    "Remote Desktop connection has stopped working". It has something to do with the NLAapi.dll. If I rename this dll, TS works very well. I used the dll from another computer running Windows 7 RC and it works too, but in one of these two cases, while it corrects the TS connection, it causes other errors, maily with the network and sharing Center. Long story short, I think that there is a bug with nlaapi.dll. I can connect properly to my boxes of Windows XP SP3 servers. I ran all the updates on my 2 k 3 box, but still does not work.
