How to change your background in Windows 11
Changing your background hasn’t changed much since Windows 10 and still remains a simple fix. With there even being multiple ways to do so.
Option 1
- Use your mouse to right-click anywhere on your Windows desktop
- Click on ‘Personalise’ in the option list
- From here choose ‘Background’ to be taken to the personalisation menu
Option 2
- Press ‘Windows Key’ + ‘I’ to open the Settings menu
- Look for ‘Personalisation’ in the column to the left, click it
- Go to ‘Background’ from here you can change your background
Once following these steps, you are given multiple ways to personalise the look and feel of your background.
- You can decide between using a picture, solid colours or a slideshow (you can decide between 10 or 30 minutes or 6 hours cycles, and the order of the slideshow).
- A list of your recent photos will also be shown, so you can choose a background previously used.
- You can also browse files on your computer, and pick any saved images as your background.
- Additionally you get to decide how your image will fit on your desktop, to fill, fit, stretch, tile, centre, or span your screen.
