Hi,

I've been studying the whole day to get the location of the musics used by the photo app when slideshow is enabled.

Nothing in windows/media, neither in the photo app folder, i searched every directories and a lot of different strategies, without success.

If someone's up to help me, that would be welcome

Thanks !

    Hi, SuoniP

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community. 

    The music files used by the Photos app for slideshows are typically embedded within the app’s code and are not stored as separate, accessible files in the system directories. This means that there isn’t a specific folder or location where you can find these audio files.

However, if you are trying to use your own music for the slideshow, you can usually do so within the slideshow settings. Here are the steps:
    1. Open the Photos app.
    2. Select the photos you want to include in your slideshow.
    3. Click on the ‘Create’ button and select ‘Automatic video’.
    4. Then, click on the ‘Music’ button, and you should be able to select music from your own files. If you’re specifically looking for the default music used in the app, it might be challenging to find the exact tracks as they could be original compositions made for the app.

    Best Regards
