How to rotate wallpaper in windows for a more interesting desktop

By Ilyse Liffreing published 30 April 19

The blue Windows 10 wallpaper is nice to look at, but it’s more fun to choose the background you want on your laptop. After all, you’re going to be the one staring at the screen all day and don’t want to be peering at a dark blue logo for hours on end. You should also look into changing your icon size, as well as saving the beautiful Windows 10 lock screen images so you have more wallpaper options. For more granular customization, try enabling Dark Mode or Light Mode on Windows 10 and consider changing to these beautiful themes.

With that said, here’s how to change your desktop background in Windows 10.

How to change your desktop background in Windows 10

1. Click on the Windows icon in the lower left of your screen next to the search bar.

2. Click on Settings in the list on the left.

3. Click on Personalization, which is fourth from the bottom on the list.

4. Click on Background. The background page will come up which allows you to preview your background picture and lets you choose from several photos or your own photos for your desktop background.

5. Click on the box underneath Background to choose between a picture, solid color, or slideshow for your background.

6. Underneath Choose your picture, click on one of the options or click Browse to choose one from your computer. Click on whatever photo you want and it will appear as your desktop background.

7. If you don’t like the layout of the photo, you can click on the box underneath. Under Choose a fit, pick between fill, fit, stretch, tile, or center options for your background.

8. Once you’ve made your selections, your Windows 10 background will change automatically, no manual submitting required.

There are several changes that many Windows 7 users will make to personalize their computers, and one of those is changing the background picture. You can use almost any image in that location, and it’s possible that you will use one from your own picture archive.

But pictures taken with cell phones or digital camera have a tendency to display on a computer with the incorrect rotation, which you might find to be the case with your current selection. Fortunately you can rotate your desktop background image using the default Microsoft Paint program that is already on your computer.

How to Rotate Wallpaper in Windows 7

The steps in this guide will assume that you already have a desktop background picture on your computer, but that you wish to rotate the one that is appearing there. We will be using Microsoft Paint to perform the rotation. This process will not require you to create new copies of the existing picture. We will simply be opening the picture in Paint, rotating it, then saving it.

Step 1: Right-click on your Windows 7 desktop, then click the Personalize option.

Step 2: Click the Desktop Background link at the bottom of the window.

Step 3: Right-click on the selected picture (it should have a check mark next to it), click Open with, then click Paint.

Step 4: Click the Rotate button, then click the rotation option that will put your picture in the desired orientation. In the case of the example image below, that is the Rotate right 90 option.

Step 5: Click the Save icon at the top of the window. Your desktop background picture should now be at the desired rotation.

Now that you’ve rotated your desktop background picture, you might want to change the size of it. Read more about adjusting background sizes in Windows 7.

I spend an unhealthy amount of time thinking about how my lock screen and background images can look better. That’s why I was happy to hear about the Windows Spotlight feature for Windows 10 a few months ago.

Spotlight is a feature specific to Windows 10 Home that displays Bing’s gorgeous daily images as a slideshow on your lock screen (pictured above) and within some Windows apps. You can enable it by heading to Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen and selecting Windows Spotlight in the “Background” drop-down menu.

Unfortunately, Windows Pro users are left out of the loop. But there is a DIY way to at least get Bing images as a rotating slideshow on your lock screen. It takes a little bit of clicking and one desktop program. But if you’re a fan of Bing images, like I am, the few minutes of effort will be worth it.

This tip will guide you through the process on Windows 10 Pro, but it should also work similarly on Windows 8.1, and possibly the Windows 7 screen saver.

Get Bing Desktop (but pay attention to the install)

The first thing you need to do is download and install the Bing desktop application for Windows. This small program puts a Bing search bar on your desktop (don’t worry, you can get rid of it) and gives you the option to use Bing’s image of the day as your desktop background.

Whatever you do, don’t blindly click through the Bing desktop installation, as it tries to change all kinds of stuff on your PC. It wants to swap your current desktop background image for a Bing image of the day slideshow, for example, as well as set your default browser’s search engine to Bing.

Just uncheck everything.

The easiest thing to do is uncheck everything when you get to the installation window (seen here) with the large number of check boxes. Unless, of course, you want to see Bing images on your desktop background and the lock screen. In which case you’ll want to leave checked “Make the Bing homepage image your desktop background.”

Uncheck these Bing desktop features for minimal impact.

Once you have Bing desktop installed, click on the Settings cog in the upper right corner of the application’s window. Then go to Preferences and uncheck the following: “Show Bing Destkop icon on the taskbar” and “Show a search box on the taskbar.”

Next, go to Settings > General and uncheck “Turn on wallpaper toolset” and “Automatically paste copied text in the search box.” If you don’t want to run Bing desktop at boot, also uncheck “Automatically open when Windows starts” under Settings > General.

File Explorer

You’ll need to show your hidden folders to find the one containing Bing Desktop’s images.

Now that Bing Desktop is installed and tweaked we’re halfway there. Open File Explorer, then click View on the menu at the top and check the box that says “Hidden items.”

We’ll undo this later, but you need this checked to get at the Bing images folder.

Settings

Set the themes folder as your pick (or one of several) for the lock screen slideshow.

Now open the Settings app by clicking Start > Settings and then navigate to Personalization > Lock Screen. Under “Background,” select Slideshow from the drop down menu.

If you see some Pictures folders already selected and you only want Bing images, just click on “Pictures” and then click Remove.

Now, to add Bing images to your lock screen slideshow click Add a folder. This opens a File Explorer window, and you’ll want to navigate to C:Users > [your user name] > AppData > Local > Microsoft > BingDesktop > en-US > Apps > Wallpaper_5386c…[there’s a whole mess of numbers here that vary from PC to PC] > VersionIndependent > images. Now click Choose this folder to add the images folder—this is one of two places where Bing Desktop stores its images—to your slideshow.

To finish, open a File Explorer window again and uncheck View > Hidden items since you don’t really need to see those folders on a daily basis.

That’s it. You now have a Bing image of the day slideshow going on your lock screen.

Replacing our wallpaper can be very time consuming, especially for people like me who like to change it on an hourly basis. Luckily Windows 7 comes with a wallpaper customization feature that automates this task for us.

In this article we will show you how to use Windows 7 and a desktop wallpaper changing software to cure severe boring wallpaper syndrome on our desktop.

Using Windows 7 RSS Backgrounds

Windows 7 comes with a desktop personalization feature to rotate our wallpaper with images from an RSS Feed or a set of images that we can access from the ‘Personalization’ menu in our desktop.

We can choose any of the available themes or create our own personalized theme. Try selecting a theme, like the ‘Characters’ theme for example.

If you don’t like the windows color that comes with that theme we can change it using the available window colors in Windows 7.

Try each of the colors and save the new theme once you are satisfied with the color that you choose.

Windows 7 will save these customize themes as ‘Unsaved Themes’ under My Themes.

We need to save the ‘Unsave Theme’ if we want to keep it so right-click it and choose ‘Save Theme’ to save it under your customize themes.

In this example we save our customize theme as ‘Geek Tester Theme’.

Windows 7 will create a theme file under : ‘C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes’ for every custom theme that its user creates.

The theme file itself is a plain text file containing all the information about the theme.

The last section of the theme file contains three attributes, interval, shuffle, and RSS feed address. The interval determines how fast Windows rotate the wallpaper images. The lower the interval is the faster Windows rotate your images. You may risk the theme crashing your system if you make it too fast.

The RSS attribute tells Windows to grab the images from a specific RSS and use it as your wallpaper.

Using John’s Desktop Background Switcher

John’s Conner desktop background switcher software is a desktop application that rotate Windows wallpaper using RSS Feed. We find that his software provides better support for Media Type RSS compared to Windows 7.

The software runs as a background job that sits on your system tray.

The ‘settings’ icon gives you access to the software configuration where we can use custom photos or RSS URL as our wallpaper. In this example we are using our Yahoo Pipe’s URL to display random images from Gnome Look website:

The desktop software is able to manage multiple monitors and shows picture in a different mode such as ‘Polaroid’ mode where it stacks the images together like a photo.

Hacking the Pipe

We have designed our Yahoo Pipe so that our readers will be able to customize it according to their need. Our Yahoo Pipe is able to take different Gnome URLs and extract the images into an RSS feed.

I find some of the best wallpaper from the Highest Rated category in Gnome Look.

I use Yahoo Pipe to create RSS feed from Gnome Look’s highest rated images and use John’s desktop software to display the images as my wallpaper.

The pipe may take a few minutes to extract the images from the web page depending on the number of images on the page.

The pipe will show a list of images that it gathers from Gnome Look URL once it has successfully extracted all the wallpaper images.

Yahoo Pipes gives different options such as ‘My Yahoo’, ‘Google’, ‘JSON’ or ‘RSS Feed’ to use the images. The ‘Get RSS’ button on the top of the list gives us access to the RSS URL that we can use for John’s desktop software.

Links

Here’s some relevant links for wallpaper, and the pipe:

• Gnome Look Wallpaper Yahoo Pipe
• Latest Gnome Wallpaper (1280 x 1024)
• Most Downloaded Wallpaper (Any Size)
• Highest Rated Wallpaper (1440 x 900)

We’ll show you your only option

It’s trite, but true. The little things in life can bring us outsized joy: a child’s first steps, a perfectly cooked steak, or the sight of a fresh, beautiful image as your computer’s desktop background. Amirite?

While there are plenty of ways you can set your Windows 10 desktop background to rotate wallpapers through a series of images, there’s really only one option to change your Windows 10 wallpaper automatically via RSS feed: John’s Background Switcher.

John’s Background Switcher

John’s Background Switcher (JBS) is the brainchild of John Conners, software developer and photographer from Scotland. Conners has been supporting and improving JBS since he first created the program back in 2004.

Conners says, “Over time I’ve expanded the functionality from the many suggestions I’ve had from people using it and now you can choose photos from a variety of sites like Flickr, Google Photos, smugmug, Dropbox, Unsplash, OneDrive, Vladstudio and RSS feeds as well as your local machine.”

It’s clear that JBS is a labor of love for Conners. Truly, this is free software development at its best. Conners saw a need, wrote a program to fill the gap, and consistently responds to user feedback. If you use JBS, throw the guy a bone. (Side note: Conners’ piece about the death of his mother? OMG, is someone cutting onions?)

How to Use John’s Background Switcher

Below, we’ll walk you through the steps to install JBS, subscribe to a media RSS feed, and start enjoying beautiful backgrounds on your Windows 10 machine.

1. Begin by downloading JBS here.
2. Launch the executable file and proceed through the installation wizard.
3. Check the box allowing JBS to run upon completion of the installation.
4. Once the JBS program has opened, select the Add button.

1. Select RSS photo feed.

1. Enter the URL of the image RSS feed from which you want to pull images.

1. Select the Test button, and JBS will let you know if it can validate the feed.

1. Select the OK button.
2. That will bring you back to the main JBS dashboard. Select OK to close the window.

Presto! Your Windows 10 desktop background will now cycle through images from the RSS feed you added. If you add multiple RSS feeds, JBS will pull images from all of them.

Other Settings in John’s Background Switcher

JBS includes several settings to configure how and when new background images will appear. On the main JBS dashboard, look for Switching Options.

• Under Change every, choose how often you want JBS to rotate wallpaper images as your desktop background. Time periods range from one minute to seven days.

• Under Picture mode, choose how you want images to be displayed. Conners has given us a wide variety of options here, including different ways to scale and crop images, a thumbnail mosaic, a four-picture montage, a collage, a polaroid pile and a postcard pile. You can also choose to randomize the picture mode.

• Under Multiple monitors, choose how JBS will treat your multiple-monitor setup.

Beyond the settings under Switching Options, JBS offers a metric ton of other options. Select the More button on the JBS dashboard, and you’ll be presented with settings for just about any aspect you can imagine.

Here’s an abbreviated list of things you can change via More Settings:

• Start automatically when starting Windows
• Show picture information including the picture’s date if available
• Draw a calendar on the desktop
• Enable keyboard shortcuts
• Stop switching when running over remote desktop
• Control the snapshot size in montages
• Show caption or title on polaroids or postcards

• Apply a background effect (like grayscale or sepia) to all images

• Enable no draw zones for areas of the screen where you don’t want the background image to be drawn
• Stop switching background images when a specific program is running

If you decide you don’t need to get your desktop background images via RSS, JBS will connect directly to other photo sources like pictures already on your computer or image sources such as Flickr, Google Photos, Pixabay, or Unsplash, just to name a few.

Another nifty little feature is that the JBS icon in the system tray turns green when it’s working, so you know for sure that it’s working on whatever you told it to.

Right-click the system tray icon to access even more controls like skipping to the next or previous image, telling JBS to never display a particular image again, check for updates to JBS, or send an image to someone via Twitter or email.

And to get back to the main JBS dashboard from the system tray icon, select Settings…

Screen savers that were designed to prevent phosphor burn-in on monitors have come a long way. Today, Windows users have options to download thousands of free screen savers from the web and also tweak the default set of screen savers that ship with Windows 10/8.1/7.

All recent versions of Windows include a bunch of good screen savers. One can set or change screensaver by right-clicking on desktop, selecting personalize, and then clicking on Screen saver option.

But unlike desktop background, Windows doesn’t allow you set two or more screen savers at a time. One can use only one screen saver at a time. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to set multiple screen savers and automatically rotate them? Yes, it’s now possible to set and use multiple screen savers in Windows with the help of tool named Random Screensaver.

Random Screensaver is a free program for Windows that lets you set multiple screen savers. That is, this tool lets you select multiple screen savers as desktop screen savers which shuffle each time Windows invokes screen saver.

In simple words, Random Screensaver automatically changes the screen saver each time Windows invokes screen saver after a specified time of inactivity. Random Screensaver supports up to eight screen savers and is compatible with Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and the latest Windows 10 operating systems.

How to setup Random Screensaver:

Step 1: Download Random Screensaver from here, unzip the file, and then run the setup to complete the installation.

Step 2: Once installed, right-click on desktop, select Personalize and then click Screen Saver to open Screen Saver Settings.

Step 3: Here, select Random Screensaver from the drop-down menu (if it’s not already) and click Settings to open Random Screensaver settings.

Step 4: Click Add button to browse to the screen saver location. Windows stores all screen savers in System 32 (C:\Windows\System32). Just browse to System32, select your favorite screen savers and then click Open button to add them to Random Screensaver list.

Step 5: Finally, configure other settings that are available and click Ok button. You are done!

If it lets you add screensavers that are located anywhere on your PC, then it IMO would be cleaner to create a dedicated folder for the screensavers used — in the user directory, or on the D: drive, or wherever.

Also, by renaming it, it should be possible to nest a copy of it (or multiple) within itself, which would allow you to have more than 8 screensavers in the rotation. The only issue (besides the fact that this setup can be quite storage-consuming) is that, if there’s multiple sub-shufflers containing different amounts of screensavers, the result is that the contained screensavers aren’t equally likely to show up. This could be regarded as a feature, however — by putting some thoughts into distributing the screensavers across the shufflers, you can have your favorite screensavers appear more often than the not-quite-as-good ones. Not sure if Random Screensaver already has a Weighted Random setting that already covers and/or compensates for that, but I kind of doubt it.

I like this idea, actually. If I end up with an extra hard drive, this will be my setup for screensavers.

@Chuck: It might be that the Launching setting does have a Time Schedule option, but probably not because, just like the Weighted Random, it would require additional configuration data, which I don’t really see any kind of fields for. Although, there’s the Options link right below it, so maybe that does manage data that’s specific to launching modes, which would make things like Weighted Random and Time Scedule possible.

This is very cool! Works perfectly! Thank You

Sure would be nice to be able to set one screen saver for the daytime(7:00am), and automatically switch to a different for the night(11:00pm). Win XP and Win 10.

Windows 10 personalization settings allow you to change the background from the set of different wallpapers. However this feature is very limited in terms of feed sources. In order to get more control over background switching you need external apps. There are many freeware and premium apps to use for this task. In this article, we are going to review some of the freeware wallpaper changer apps for Windows 10.

Windows by default doesn’t offer a way to stream the photofeeds on desktop. In such case using the external apps to rotate the background with photo feeds is the only option. In this article we are going to check out some of the apps that allows you to change wallpapers on Windows 10 desktop. I am restricting the discussion to only freeware applications only.

This application is written in a QT framework and so it is available for different operating systems. The application is capable of fetching the wallpapers from multiple feeds. You can also use the app to set the time in which you want to rotate the wallpaper. Setting the position of the wallpaper and the adjusting the gradient is also easier compared to other apps. When you read the wallpapers from the external sources, you get the option to either stream them or store them on your hard drive. If any wallpaper source requires you to be on specific region, then using the Proxy support you can access the content. The application is free of cost and you don’t have to pay for any features or up-sells in order to use the app.

John’s Background Switcher

This program is in development since early 2000. It is available for multiple versions of Windows and Mac OS. The app has only single effective feature, to rotate the background at the time period specified by you. It can grab the photo feeds from various sources such as Flickr, Google photos, Facebook and other wallpaper sites. You can also use the app to present the photos in different views e.g. collage view etc. You can also customize gradient, transparency and rotation. This makes the app easy to use and less complicated for feed streaming. The best part of this app is the cost : Free. And it doesn’t even add any adware or opencandy into the installer.

Wallpaper Master

This app is available in free and professional version. It doesn’t cost much money for the pro version either. So it all depends on your usage and how much of such app you need on everyday basis. The app lets you set the rotation time with which you can change the wallpaper. You can also get the photo feeds from online source. It also lets you store the photos on the hard drive. Another interesting feature of the app is it lets you set the view in which you want to view wallpaper. You can set the photo as stretched or collage etc. I personally found the software easy to use and navigate though I can’t justify why someone would need to use Pro version.

MuralPix Wallpaper Changer

Earlier this app used to have the calendar built into it. However it doesn’t have the calendar option for the version released recently. Wallpaper source can be anything from local folder to online photo RSS feed. Depending on how you want the images to be rotated, you can set the options accordingly. You can also make the frame around wallpaper to make it look cool. It also allows you change the style in which you change the icons. The program remains silent after startup and stays in the tray. You can also remove the startup option and use it only when you need it.
You may not like the user interface of this program but for simple wallpaper changing task, it can get that done without any issues.

Wallpaper Cycler Lite

The app interface is good and easy to learn for setting the background rotation. You can change a lot of options while rotating the images. You can set the background in collage or with calendar as well. You can make use of calendar system to show the notes and tasks on desktop. If you have photo feeds then you can add them on the source. This way you can get new images from those sources. It also lets you set the order for each feed and this makes it easy to shuffle in between the image sources.

Any Wallpaper

This app isn’t complex and focuses on one thing – change the wallpaper. So it let’s you set the frequency in which you can change the images. You can also sort the images in particular order. You can also set the image view for individual images. You can even set which image to exclude from next rotation. However app doesn’t have advanced features such as auto close and image info for streamed images. So that makes this app usable for simple use only. If you want background changing app with more complex feature set then you have to try other apps listed earlier in the article.

There are many other wallpaper changer apps that you can use on Windows 10. Most of the free apps these days can get you some advanced features. However these apps are only good if you have enough good images stored on desktop. It is better to find out the photo feeds on the web while using such apps. This way you’d get enough new wallpaper being changed on every day basis.

If you’d like to change your desktop wallpaper in Windows 11 to a different built-in background image, a solid color, or a custom picture, it’s easy to do in Windows Settings. Here’s how.

Getting Started

To change your desktop background, you’ll first need to open the Windows Settings app. Luckily, Microsoft left us a quick shortcut to use: Right-click the desktop and select “Personalize” in the menu that appears.

Windows Settings will open to the “Personalization” category. In the main settings list on the right side of the window, select “Background.”

In Background settings, locate the “Personalize Your Background” option. In the drop-down menu beside it, you can select one of three options:

• Picture: This lets you select an image or photograph (an image file) to use as a desktop wallpaper.
• Solid: This lets you pick a solid color for your desktop.
• Slideshow: This option allows you to select a folder of pictures to use as desktop backgrounds that change automatically over time.

It’s worth noting that the “Picture” option applies only to the current desktop that is active. If you’re using multiple desktops through the virtual desktops feature in Windows 11, you can set a different picture for each virtual desktop. In contrast, the “Solid” and “Slideshow” options apply to all of your virtual desktops at once.

Choosing a Picture as Your Desktop Background

If you choose “Picture” in the “Personalize Your Background” menu, you have two main options. You can either select from a group of “Recent Images” by clicking a thumbnail, or click “Browse Folders” and select an image you’d like to use that is stored on your PC.

(In case you get lost while browsing for an image, Windows 11 stores its built-in wallpapers in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper by default.)

Under the “Choose a fit for your desktop image” drop-down menu, select the option that suits you best.

• Fill: This stretches or compresses the image to fit the width of your screen while keeping the proper aspect ratio.
• Fit: This stretches or compresses the image to fit the height of your screen while keeping the proper aspect ratio.
• Stretch: This stretches or compresses the image you select to fit within the dimensions of the screen without preserving the image’s original aspect ratio.
• Tile: This repeats the image as a tile from left-to-right starting in the upper-left corner until it fills the entire desktop screen space.
• Center: This displays the image centered on your screen at its original size and aspect ratio.
• Span: This option will display an image across desktops on multiple monitors, spanning them.

Choosing a Solid Color as Your Desktop Background

If you select “Solid Color” in the “Personalize Your Background,” you can either choose one of the pre-selected background colors from the grid of colored squares, or you can select a custom color by clicking “View Colors.”

Remember that this “Solid Color” option will apply to all of your virtual desktops at the same time.

Setting a Slideshow as Your Desktop Background

If you select “Slideshow” in the “Personalize Your Background” drop-down menu, you’ll see options that let you browse for a folder that contains images you want to cycle through over time. After selecting the folder, you can set how often the picture changes with the “Change Picture Every” drop-down menu. You can also shuffle the picture order, disable slideshow on battery power, and choose a fit using the Fill, Fit, Stretch (and so on) options described above.

Once you have the desktop set how you like it, close Settings, and your desktop wallpaper or background will stay that way until you change it again it Settings. Windows 11 includes lots of fun new wallpapers to explore, so have fun!

Bing is probably never going to be the legit Google contender it hopes to be, but that doesn’t mean that Microsoft’s search engine doesn’t have some great qualities. Those lovely daily backgrounds on the main search page, for example, look great, and with a little tweaking you can get them to appear as your desktop background.

Bing has an official Wallpaper app that lets you automatically change your desktop background to match the daily wallpaper. This article will show you how to use that app and, as an alternative, a dynamic daily-rotating desktop background on Windows.

Set Daily Bing Wallpaper Using Bing App

Through the Microsoft website, you can download and install the official Bing Wallpaper app. Once you’ve downloaded it and opened the installer, remember to uncheck the boxes trying to dupe you into switching your various defaults to Bing. (Sneaky Microsoft will be sneaky Microsoft.)

Once you’ve installed the Bing Wallpaper app, it will sit in your system tray and should apply the Bing wallpaper of the day automatically.

If you want to see the name of the place shown on the wallpaper, open your system tray and right-click the new Bing Wallpaper icon.

In the Bing Wallpaper right-click menu, you can also change the wallpaper to a previous one used as the daily Bing wallpaper, and if you want to stick with that wallpaper for a while, you can deselect the “Enable a daily refresh” option in the Bing Wallpaper menu.

Use Dynamic Theme to Set Daily Bing Wallpaper

The second option to get Bing daily wallpapers is to go to the Microsoft Store and get this little app called Dynamic Theme.

Once you’ve installed it, open Dynamic Theme, and you’ll be greeted with an interface that looks almost identical to the Windows Personalize settings screen.

In the pane on the left, you’ll see several options that we’ll get to later.

For now, to change your desktop background to the Bing daily image, select “Background” in the pane on the left, then click the Background drop-down menu and select “Bing.” (You can also choose Windows Spotlight here, which is the daily changing image that appears on the Windows lock screen by default.)

Once it’s selected, you should see the Bing Daily Wallpaper in the Preview pane. Click “Update” to set it as your background.

There’s more to it, though. You can go through the back-catalogue of Daily Bing wallpapers to see previous ones, set those as your background instead, or download the images.

To do this, just click “Show history,” then click the left arrow at the bottom of the new window to scroll through past images. To set one as your background, right-click it and click “Set as background” (or you can save it by right-clicking it and hitting “Save”).

From the “Dynamic Theme” main screen, click “Daily Bing image” in the pane on the left to load more options relating to the daily image.

You can, for example, autosave each Daily Bing image to your PC under the “Autosave” heading. Or, if you want to fine-tune which part of the world you want to see in your Daily Bing images, you can change it under the “Source” heading.

To keep your Windows accent colors (the color of live tiles, highlighted Start menu and so on) in sync with the background, right-click an empty space on the desktop and click Personalize. In the Settings window that opens, click Colors, then tick “Automatically pick an accent color from my background box.”

And there you have it – a beautiful new image as your desktop wallpaper on Windows every single day, helping to inspire and relax you as you work. Note that the entire guide above can also be applied to the lock screen (just select “Lock Screen” from the pane on the left), or you can use the Dynamic Theme app to pull images from Daily Windows Spotlight as well.

Now that you’ve taken care of the wallpaper, how about exploring a few awesome screensavers for your desktop or customizing the startup sound?

On June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced a new operating system, Windows 11. Windows 11 comes with many new features and a brand new outlook compared with previous versions of Windows. According to Microsoft, Windows 11 official version will be released on October 5 this year. Before that, users can enjoy Windows 11 through the Windows Insider Program.

When you start Windows 11, you will see a lock screen. You cannot access the desktop until you enter the sign-in password on the lock screen. It is designed for security. By default, the Windows 11 lock screen wallpaper looks like the picture showing below.

Windows 11 allows you to personalize your lock screen background image. If you don’t know how to do it, you can follow the tutorial below.

Windows allows users to change lock screen clock format to 12 or 24 hour clock according to their preferences. And here is how to change it in three methods.

How to Change Lock Screen Wallpaper on Windows 11

If you are planning to customize the lock screen on Windows 11 with your favorite picture, this tutorial can help.

Usually, the lock screen background can change according to Windows 11 themes. If you don’t like the pictures included in the Microsoft themes, you can personalize your lock screen by yourself. And here are the detailed steps. Please follow them one by one.

Step 1: Press Win + I to open Windows 11 Settings.

Step 2: In the left pane, select Personalization. In the right pane, click Lock screen,

Step 3: Click Personalize your lock screen and select one of the following options according to your needs.

• Windows spotlight: with this option, Windows will set the lock screen wallpaper automatically.
• Picture: with this option, you can choose an image according to your preferences.
• Slideshow: with this option, you can choose multiple pictures and they will rotate on the Windows 11 lock screen at regular intervals.

Step 4: If you select Picture in the last step, you need to click the Browse photos button and select the picture with which you want to change Windows 11 lock screen background. You can also choose from recent images. If you select Slideshow, you need to select an album that contains multiple images.

Step 5: Under the Lock screen status section, you can choose an app to show detailed status on the lock screen. If you don’t want anything to appear on the lock screen, you can choose None for this option.

Step 6: When you click the screen or press any keys on the lock screen, it will turn to the sign-in screen, if you want to keep the background, you can turn on the option “Show the lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen”. Otherwise, keep it turned off.

After you change lock screen wallpaper on Windows 11, you can press Win + L to go to the lock screen and check whether you are satisfied with the background image.

Windows 10 offers just as much customization as previous versions of the OS. Here’s how to get the look you want.

Microsoft went to a great deal of effort to create the “Desktop Hero” wallpaper that comes standard with Windows 10 It even produced a video (Opens in a new window) showing its creation. But what if, after making the upgrade to Windows 10 (which you should definitely do), you want your old familiar wallpaper back? Or what if you just want your desktop to fit better with your personality? Fear not, the same customizations are possible in Windows 10 that have been a staple of earlier Windows versions.

To get started, simply right-click on the desktop. Alternatively, you could go to Settings (via the new Action Center’s “All settings” button or by typing Settings in Cortana’s search box).

Whichever way you get there, choose Personalization (or Personalize, if you’re going from the right-click on the desktop). Here’s the window that will appear:

Note it shows you a preview of what your desktop looks like as you try different options in the Settings dialog. As you can see, you have a choice between using a picture, a solid color, or a slideshow as the desktop background, aka wallpaper.

A preset sampling of five pictures appears under “Choose your picture,” but you’re not limited to those. Far from it. You can tap Browse to choose any image file on your hard drive that’s in JPG, JPEG, BMP, DIB, PNG, JFIF, JPE, GIF, TIF, TIFF, or WDP format. After you’ve selected the wallpaper of your dreams, you need to decide how to fit it on the screen, since not every image has the same aspect ratio as your monitor. Your fit choices are Fill, Fit, Stretch, Tile, Center, and Span. That last lets you spread an image across multiple monitors, an option that Windows 8 introduced.

If the same old picture on your desktop all the time is too monotonous, the Personalization settings also give you the option of having your wallpaper play a slow slideshow. With this option, choose a folder containing background images of the same formats listed above, rather than specific images. You can set the photos to switch at intervals of one minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, six hours, or a day.

Another, simpler option for changing the desktop wallpaper that bypasses the Settings dialog will be known to many. While viewing any image in File Explorer, you can simply right-click on the image and choose “Set as desktop background.” Unfortunately, you can’t yet do this in Edge, Microsoft’s new Web browser. Firefox, however, lets you use any photo you see on the Web as your wallpaper.

Themes
If you want customization that goes beyond just the background, as in past Windows versions, you have the option of implementing Themes. These are packs of backgrounds, interface colors, and even sounds. There are three standard Windows Themes available, and any that you had in your previous version of Windows remain available. To get to Themes, click on the fourth option down in the Personalization settings window, and then on Theme settings (this seems like an extra unnecessary click, but the Themes page also lets you choose sound, desktop icon, and mouse pointer settings). That takes you to the old-style Control Panel for Personalization—yes, as in Windows 8, Windows 10 duplicates some features like this.

You can download many more themes on Microsoft’s website (Opens in a new window) . There are loads of choices there, including landscapes, animals, flowers, art, holidays, and community showcases. Microsoft has unfortunately retired one of my favorite theme options—the dynamic theme, which used RSS to download ever-changing backgrounds. So you’ll just have to select photos on your own or choose one of the many downloadable themes.

Another option is to head to one of the many third-party wallpaper sites. A few suggestions are InterfaceLift (Opens in a new window) , Simple Desktops (Opens in a new window) , and the well-known Deviant Art (Opens in a new window) . A newer, fun entrant is digital blasphemy (Opens in a new window) . Whichever way you choose to go, enjoy customizing your Windows 10 wallpaper to your heart’s content, so that your PC reflects exactly who you are.

Microsoft has finally brought one of the better features of Windows into Windows 11: Windows Spotlight, which splashes Microsoft’s rather blah new operating system with some warmth and charm.

It’s worth dropping any pretense of objectivity for this. I’m a fan of nature photography, and Microsoft is too. Think about how a photo of a pastoral California hillside became the iconic “Bliss” backdrop of Windows XP, for example. Microsoft has quietly amassed an enormous collection of professional photography, making them available as Windows 10 themes — one great way to personalize your Windows 10 PC. Essentially, these themes allow you to pick and choose from tons of photos of a given subject: beach scenes, cats, or astrophotography.

Microsoft uses these photos to add some color and context to other properties that it owns. Bing.com, for example, tends to show off photos of buildings and cities that are both visually impressive and have some history that’s worth exploring. Previously, you’ve been able to automatically load some of these images as desktop wallpapers via the downloadable Bing Wallpaper app. You’ve probably noticed that your Windows lock screen now shows a representative photograph, too.

Now, there’s a new way of adding a little color to your desktop: Windows Spotlight, which was added as part of a cumulative Windows 11 update, KB5014019. Windows Spotlight rotates your desktop background on a daily basis, placing one of Microsoft’s nature scenes behind your desktop icons. (It’s off by default, so nothing will change if you already have a preferred wallpaper.)

Unlike other fresh features we typically cover, this isn’t part of the Windows Insider preview program. It’s available to all Windows 11 users. Since it’s an optional Windows 11 update, you’ll need to visit the Windows Update page in your Settings menu to download and install it. But don’t worry — it will be part of Windows 11 in a few weeks as part of the usual “Patch Tuesday” update in June.

To turn on Windows Spotlight, you’ll need to go to Settings > Personalization > Background and toggle the dropdown menu to “Windows spotlight.” Your wallpaper should then shift to the background of the day.

Mark Hachman / IDG

Unlike an ordinary Theme pack, you won’t have the option of changing the background every hour or every minute. You also don’t have the option of flipping through desktop backgrounds to find one you like — yet, anyway. It’s possible this option may be added in the future.

We’ve criticized Windows 11 for moving away from the warmer environment of Windows 10 to the more productivity-focused Windows 11 UI. This new update certainly brings back a little of the character of Windows 10, and it’s a step forward for the operating system.

Step 1. Right click the Start button and select Settings app from the context menu.

Method 2. Set Dual Monitor Wallpapers with the Windows File Explorer

The first method may not be intuitive for you. Alternatively, you can set different wallpaper for each monitor with Windows File Explorer. To do so, follow the steps below:

Step 1. Press Win + E keys to open the File Explorer window.

Step 2. Select multiple images by pressing Ctrl or Shift key, and then right click on the image that you want to set it as your primary monitor, while the images you want to use are still selected.

Step 3. Select Set as desktop background from the right-click context menu.

After that, Windows will set those images as your wallpapers. You can set dual monitor wallpapers, but this method has its shortcomings. You have no control over where the images on the non-primary monitors will be set. Besides, those images will randomly rotate positions every 30 minutes if they are not the exact resolution of your monitor. So, you can consider using a third-party tool.

Method 3. Use a Third Party Tool

If you want to set different wallpaper on each of your monitors and have a high degree of control over that, the above 2 options may not suitable for you. Here it is recommended that you use a free tool – John Background Switcher. This tool provides various features to manage your wallpapers on dual monitors.

Bgcall is a free program for devices running Windows that enables you to rotate a set of desktop background images easily on the system.

Microsoft has integrated basic wallpaper changing capabilities into the Windows 7 operating system. This comes as part of the operating systems themes functionality, and what you can use it for is rotate different background images on the desktop. The capabilities have been improved in Windows 8 to add support for multi-monitor systems.

While that is a great step in comparison to previous systems, it is still basic compared to some of the third party wallpaper changers out there.

Bgcall

Bgcall looks like any other program of this kind on first glance. What sets it apart from the majority are a couple of features. You will notice during installation that you can configure it to only run during system start to change the wallpaper.

That’s great as it will exit after it has successfully changed the desktop background on the system so that it won’t use up memory or processing power. It offers to place icons on the desktop that trigger the changing of the wallpaper, so that you can use it even while the system is running if you prefer to do so.

The first thing you will notice is that it supports multiple lists of wallpapers that you can add to the application. While not necessary, it provides you with options to group themed wallpapers for easier selection. It is however not necessary to do so as you can work with a single list as well if you prefer that.

You can add files or folders full of pictures to a list. If you select folders, all images in that folder will be added so make sure it only contains wallpaper images and not other pictures.

All images are displayed with their full path once added. You can select them here to see a small thumbnail preview of it in the lower half of the screen, or click on preview to display a full screen preview of how it looks like on your desktop.

Here you can also set wallpapers manually if you want which can be useful if you do not want the program to start with Windows.

Before you do, you may want to check the preferences displayed in the lower half and the settings of the program.

• Calendar displays a calendar in the upper right corner of the screen. Change calendar settings, e.g. font, position, colors and holidays.
• Select how you want smaller or larger wallpapers to be handled (e.g. enlarge and shrink).
• Enable random mode which picks wallpapers randomly instead of chronologically.
• Change the margin color.
• Export or import lists.

The program supports the following input formats: bmp, png, jpeg, tiff and gif image files. It can be run from the command line, the following parameters are supported by it:

• /s exit after changing the wallpaper
• /d exit after updating the calendar
• /z ignore execution delay settings

Bgcall is compatible with all recent Windows operating systems. Windows 8 is not mentioned on the authors website, a quick test however revealed that it appears to be fully compatible with Microsoft’s latest operating system as well. A 32-bit version and 64-bit version of the wallpaper changer is made available.

Verdict

Bgcall offers two core features that may make it interesting to Windows users. It first runs only when wallpapers are changed which is great if you are running a low-end system or do not want additional programs to run all the time on your system, especially if their functionality is not needed.

The second is support for multi-monitor systems. Thanks to its list system, it is easy to pick wallpapers for different monitor resolutions.

Bored seeing the same default wallpapers every day? Here’s how you can automatically change desktop wallpaper every day on Windows 10, 7, and 8.

The default Windows 10 Hero wallpaper is really good. If you really want to, you can access the high quality (4K) Windows 10 Hero wallpaper from C:\Windows\Web\4K\Wallpaper\Windows folder. Or, just download it from here. Talking about the Hero wallpaper, Microsoft made a great behind the scenes video showing how they actually created the wallpaper and posted it on YouTube. But for whatever reason, I can no longer find the video.

As good as the Hero wallpaper is, seeing the same default wallpaper each and every day can get tiring. This is especially true if you are someone who likes to keep the desktop minimal, clutter-free, and fresh. Generally, to change the wallpaper on Windows, you have to manually download it, right-click on the image, and select “Set as Wallpaper.” Alternatively, you can also switch between the few included default wallpapers by opening the Settings app and navigating to “Personalization -> Background“. If needed, you can rotate between default wallpapers by selecting the “Slideshow” option.

Though not hard, the above process is a bit tedious if you want a new wallpaper every day. The good news is, you can automate the process using free apps. Let me show you how to automatically change the desktop wallpaper on Windows 10.

I’ve also added detailed steps on how to change wallpaper every day on Windows 7 and Windows 8 too. Use the anchor links below to navigate quickly.

Automatically Change Wallpaper in Windows 10

Since Windows 10 has no built-in options to change wallpaper every day, we are going to use Dynamic Theme, a free app from Microsoft Store. This free app automatically downloads a new Bing wallpaper every day and sets it as your desktop and lock screen wallpaper.

1. Download and install Dynamic Theme from Microsoft Store.

2. After installing, open it by searching for “Dynamic Theme” in the Start Menu.

3. In the app, navigate to “Background” on the right panel, select “Bing” from the drop-down menu and select “Fill” from the “Choose to fit” drop-down menu. All changes are saved instantly, there is no Save button. If you have multiple devices connected to the same Microsoft account, turn ON the Synchronization option.

Note: If the wallpaper didn’t change instantly, click on the “Update” button.

4. You can configure the lock screen wallpaper in the same manner. Just go to the “Lock screen” on the left panel.

Save Bing Wallpapers to a Folder

5. You can save Bing images to a folder. To do that, go to “Daily Bing Image” and toggle the button to “On” under the Autosave section. The default save location is the Pictures folders.

6. On the same page, you can choose a specific regional culture to get daily Bing images. All you have to do is, select a specific region from the drop-down menu under the “Source” section. In my case, I choose “Current Culture” so that I get wallpapers from all available cultures.

That is it. From now on, Dynamic Theme will automatically set a new wallpaper every day in Windows 10.

I also found one more awesome app called Splash! for Windows 10 users. Splash! downloads gorgeous stock images from Unsplash and sets them as your desktop wallpaper. Give it a try too.

Change Desktop Wallpaper Everyday on Windows 7 and 8

If you are using Windows 7 or 8, you can use free apps like Splashy or Artpip. Both apps are free, has minimal, modern, and easy to use interface. Of course, both these apps can also be used by Windows 10.

Just like Splash!, Splashy uses Unsplash stock images for wallpapers.

Artpip sets beautiful fine art and photography as desktop wallpaper. Some features like Favorites are only available for paid users.

That is it for now. Comment below and share your thoughts and experiences about using Dynamic Theme, Splash!, Artpip, and Splashy.

Now that we’re quarantined and either attending online classes or working from home, all of us are gaping at our laptop screen for way too long. So while we’re at it, why not make our desktop look cool and aesthetic?

Customizing your laptop’s exterior is pretty easy with cases, sleeves, stickers, etc. But when it comes to what’s inside, not many people know how to customize their desktop. So let’s check out some easy ways to make your desktop look unique and more personal—

Different ways to make your Desktop look Cool and Aesthetic

Wallpaper Slideshow

This is the easiest way to decorate your desktop. On Windows, you can select Personalization on the Settings window and choose to shuffle images for the background. You can even install StarDock if your system does not offer such settings.

A fresh desktop wallpaper every time will keep you from getting bored while you chase deadlines during this lockdown!

Accent Colors

The Personalization window also allows you to choose an accent color for a more cohesive look on your desktop. Go to Colors and choose the one that you would like, or you can go for the Custom color option to choose from the gradient. Further, from the Show accent color on the following surfaces , select where you would like to see the colors. On the page, you can even choose between light and dark modes

Icon Customization

Now that you’ve got the coolest shuffling wallpaper, time to customize those boring, ugly icons. Start with decluttering. Delete the files that you had carelessly dumped onto your desktop and hide the ones that you might need later. From the Personalization option on the Settings window, choose Themes , and scroll down. Click on Desktop icon settings and uncheck the icons you want to hide. Moreover, you can even change the size of your desktop icons, whether you’re using Windows, Mac, or Linux.

Websites like ICO Convert are great for converting png and jpg files into icons that you can use on files and folders. Simply download an image that you would like as your icon and upload it on the website. Ensure that it is in png or jpg format. In no time, you will get your image converted to icon format and, thus, fit for icon customization.

Icon Organizers

Other than using customized icons and deleting/ hiding the ones you don’t need, you can try organizing them in groups. This will help in further making your desktop look neat and tidy.

Programs like Fences are a holy grail for beginners who want to experiment with desktop customization. After installation, your responses to the questions will help the software determine which icon should be placed in each ‘fence.’ Once you start using this application, you won’t be able to get it off your must-haves.

Download a Dock

If you want your desktop to look like that of a MacBook, you can install ObjectDock (paid) or RocketDock (free). These customizable dock applications will give your desktop a neat and functional look. Linux users can also recreate the Mac OS desktop by installing Docky or Plank.

Rainmeter Skins

Wallpaper, icons, and taskbar— you think that’s all your desktop can show? Think again after downloading Rainmeter . This is a software that allows Windows users to personalize their desktop in the most modern, unique, and beautiful way ever. With user-friendly instructions and tons of customizable skins, Rainmeter is a favorite among geeks. However, if you are a beginner, you might take some time to figure things out, so we suggest you check out tutorials on YouTube beforehand.

Make your desktop look like Jarvis from Iron Man

For the Avengers fans out there, Rainmeter also allows you to turn your desktop into JARVIS. Be the superhero in your life by installing JARVIS, and you will be able to control your computer with your voice. While there are some inbuilt commands that the software is already trained in, you can add personalized instructions too. If that’s not dope, I don’t know what else is.

Other than Jarvis, other programs like Braina, DataBot, Computer Talker, etc. are also popular among the tech-savvy masses.

How to make your Linux desktop look Awesome

Most of us can agree that the default Linux desktop looks plain and boring. But a few changes here and there can make the desktop look ten times more dope! Check it out—

Change your Desktop Theme

Go to the Appearance settings to change the desktop background. Just like other systems, you can choose to shuffle your wallpaper throughout the day. This section also allows you to tweak your icons and fonts.

Try out new Icons and Fonts

There are tons of icon packs on the internet, each of them designed for a specific vibe. Make sure you choose an icon pack that matches your wallpaper and overall desktop theme. We recommend you to keep icons neat and simple, so they complement other wallpapers too.

Even when it comes to downloading new fonts for your system, we would suggest simpler ones. Fancy fonts will only make your desktop look cluttered and distracting. Linux users can check out Font Squirrel for a wide variety of free fonts. However, make sure you download any font into the /.fonts/ directory.

Try Conky

This one is for the advanced users though beginners can try it out after watching tutorials on YouTube. Conky can enhance your desktop aesthetic by enabling themes and widgets. After installing, you can edit the

/.conkyrc file, for a range of unique elements to decorate your desktop.

If Conky is not your cup of tea, you can explore other desktop environment options like GNOME, Cinnamon, Xfce, KDE Plasma, etc.

Conclusion

Those were some of our go-to ways to freshen up our desktop. A clean desktop is not only pleasing to the eyes but also helps in focusing and motivating us to be productive. Especially those involved in online studying and working from home, a cool and aesthetic desktop will prevent boredom during classes and online meetings.

A view of our beloved home as it constantly moves

In little time, technology allowed us to map out every corner of the Earth, build a 3D explorable representation, with an abundance of details related to population and landscape.

With just an Internet connection and a web browser, anyone can visit any place on the globe to plan trips, calculate distances, or simply find out what it’s like in another part of the planet. This not only serves as a fun 3D simulation of Earth but also greatly enhances navigation.

More than this, but the trend quickly spread towards desktop enhancement, because let’s face it, Earth is beautiful from our eye level, let alone seen from space. As such, we found a couple of applications that turn your desktop background into a space view of Earth.

Using EarthView

Step 1: Download, install, and run EarthView.

Step 2: Access the configuration panel by double-clicking the tray icon.

Step 3: Set wallpaper update frequency in minutes. If left at 0 (zero), refresh is done once every second or two.

Step 4: Choose elements to be displayed on the globe. You can pick day and night view, clouds, cities, background, and smoothing. All aspects can be slightly configured.

Step 5: Set camera position by dragging the red dot on the map under the Map Area section.

Step 6: Pick a projection type that can either be globe or map, and decide whether or not the camera should move and how.

Step 7 (optional): Switch to the Screen Saver tab to manage a similar set of options for when your computer is idle.

Using Desktop Earth

Step 1: Download, install, and run Desktop Earth.

Step 2: Double-click the tray icon to set up view and behavior.

Step 3: Choose between Spherical, Moon, or Flat view. The preview displays the desktop.

Step 4: Set Update rate which can be as fast as every ten seconds.

Step 5: Adjust the view and level of details by moving the sliders on the right.

Step 6: Pick focus area, Day and Night image quality from the corresponding drop-down menus.

Not a fan of Windows 11’s default wallpaper? It only takes a few clicks to change it.

Shelby Brown (she/her/hers) is a writer for CNET’s services and software team. She covers tips and tricks for apps and devices, as well as Apple Arcade news.

Microsoft started rolling out the new Windows 11 operating system last month in phases for eligible devices. It’s been a few years since Microsoft gave Windows a facelift and new features . The update will include Android apps on your Windows PC (not available yet, and we’re not sure when ), natively supporting Microsoft Teams and a cleaner, more Mac-like design . But Windows 11 also gives you options for new wallpaper .

If you’re not a fan of Microsoft’s new default wallpaper — a blooming, abstract flower shape that pays homage to Windows 10’s royal blue colors — you can change it up. Windows 11 has other default images, or you can change your wallpaper to a photo you’ve saved or uploaded to your PC.

We’ll show you how to switch your wallpaper to a background you’re fond of with just a few steps. You can also create virtual desktops and a breakdown of our favorite features . This story was recently updated.

How do I change my Windows 11 wallpaper?

Once you have access to Windows 11, here’s how to change your wallpaper:

1. Click the on-screen Windows button or press the Windows button on your keyboard.

2. Click Settings.

3. Go to Personalization.

4. Choose Background.

5. Select an already available image or click Browse to search for an image you’ve saved to your PC.

Changes to the default wallpaper only scratch the surface of the design and feature changes found on the Windows 11 desktop. For example, you’ll also find ways to customize your Windows 11 desktop with widgets, virtual desktops and Snap Group layouts.

I honestly can’t think of a reason why you would need to rotate Windows screen, but I’m sure you can. Depending on what you’re going to do with your computers will determine if the current settings are acceptable. Sometimes, landscape mode just doesn’t give you the view you need.

The good news is that you have various methods to choose from when it comes to rotating your Windows display. You can make a choice between methods that require the need of a software and one that won’t.

1. Rotate Windows Display Using Stock Features

If you’re not a fan of installing another software or just don’t have room for another one, here’s how you can do it without having to download one. If you have any windows open, make sure that you close at least one of them so you can easily see your desktop wallpaper.

Right-click on any free space on your screen and choose Display Settings. If you have more than one monitor, you’ll need to select the screen you want to modify. Find the option that says Orientation and you can either have your display in Portrait or Landscape mode. To change the orientation of your screen just select Portrait (flipped) or Landscape (flipped).

You can also use the Control Panel to change the orientation of your display. Open the Control Panel. You can open it in quite a few ways such as right-clicking on the Windows icon and choose the option or searching for it with Cortana.

Once you have the Control Panel open go to Appearance and Personalization > Display and Screen Resolution. Just like before choose the screen you want to change and select either Portrait or Landscape.

2. The Intel Graphics Method

Another option to rotate your Windows display is with the Intel Graphics Option. The drivers that you’re going to need will depend on the model of your computer. So, before continuing, you’ll need to install those first.

Once the Intel Graphics Option is all set up use the desktop right-click menu. Select the Graphics option and once you’re in the main menu choose in what direction you want to rotate your display.

3. Use a Command Line Software to Rotate Windows Screen

Display is a command line software that can not only turn your screen, but it also offers other useful features. If you use the command prompt regularly or just like using it, then this is the software for you.

With this software, you can do things such as change display properties, display brightness, turn off your monitor among other things. To start using Display, you’re going to need to install the EXE file. Once you have the file copy it to the C:\\Windows folder.

That’s it; you’re done. You will now be able to use the command prompt to rotate your display. You can use commands such as display /rotate:90. This is just an example if you want to change the display in a different direction change the 90 to 270 or 180. If you want a standard orientation then use the number 0.

4. iRotate GUI Based Software to Rotate Screen in Windows

iRotate is freeware that can change how your display looks. You’ll be able to rotate your screen to the four possible options. You can make this happen by either using a hotkey or with a single click.

After you install the software, the software’s icon will appear in the system tray. Right-click on the icon, and it will show you four options; 270 degrees, 180 degrees, 90 degrees and normal landscape. You can also use Ctrl + Alt + arrow keys to rotate when the software is running.

5. EeeRotate Display Rotating Software

Last but not least you have the EeeRotate software. This software works on hotkeys instead of command or GUI. EeeRotate will need to run in the background to work properly, and it will also add its own icon in the system tray.

Keep in mind that you’re not going to see the software on the desktop or the Start Menu. To launch the software you’ll need to click on the EXE file. You can find it at C:\Program Files (x86)\EeeRotate folder of your computer. You can rotate your display by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + arrow keys. Your screen can be rotated by 90,0, 180, and 270 degrees.

Conclusion: Rotate Screen on Windows

With all these options to rotate Windows screen at least, you can’t complain about the lack of choices. Now, whenever you need to turn your screen for whatever reason, you have quite a few options to fall back on. Which one are you going to use? Drop a comment below and let me know.
