Windows 11 comes with a brand-new, redesigned interface, making your experience smoother and more enjoyable. One of the features you might want to use is viewing your photos as a slideshow. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of viewing photos in a slideshow on Windows 11.
Method 1: Using Windows Photos App
The Windows Photos app is pre-installed on your Windows 11 computer, and it allows you to view your images in a slideshow. Here’s how:
Step 1: Open the Photos app
Click on the Start button and then click on the Photos app to open it. Alternatively, you can type “Photos” in the search bar and click on the app in the search results.
Step 2: Navigate to the folder containing your photos
In the Photos app, click on the Folders tab located at the left-hand side of the window. Then, browse to the folder containing the photos you want to view in a slideshow.
Step 3: Start the slideshow
Select the first photo you want to include in the slideshow and click on the Slideshow button (a play icon) located at the top-right corner of the window. The slideshow will start automatically, displaying each photo for a few seconds before moving on to the next one.
Method 2: Using File Explorer
You can also view your photos in a slideshow directly from the File Explorer. Here’s how:
Step 1: Open File Explorer
Press Win + E on your keyboard to open File Explorer.
Step 2: Navigate to the folder containing your photos
In File Explorer, browse to the folder containing the photos you want to view in a slideshow.

Customize Slideshow Settings
Unfortunately, Windows 11 does not offer built-in settings to customize the slideshow duration and transition effects. However, you can use third-party software like IrfanView or XnView to get more control over your slideshow settings, including photo display duration, transition effects, and background music.
Now that you know how to view photos in a slideshow on Windows 11, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your photo collection. Happy viewing!
