Answer 1

To restore your scrolling wallpaper feature in Windows 10 after reinstalling the operating system, you can follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the Desktop and select Personalize.
2. In the Background section, choose Slideshow from the drop-down menu.
3. Click on Browse to select the folder where your wallpaper pictures are stored.
4. Ensure that the Change picture every option is set to your desired interval (e.g., 1 minute, 10 minutes).
5. You can also check the option for Shuffle if you want the images to appear in a random order.
6. Once you've set this up, your wallpaper should start scrolling through the selected images.

If the images are transcoded or in a format that Windows does not support, you may need to convert them to a compatible format (like JPEG or PNG) before they can be used in the slideshow.

Where on your PC are the image files located, and if you set your background to Slideshow, then navigate to the folder that contains the image file, are you able to select that folder?

You indicate the files are transcoded, are they named TranscodedWallpaper files in the %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes folder, if so, do you not have the original image files?
