    Windows 10 and Windows 7 both let you set up a slideshow and have it automatically change the picture after a period of time. So, if you provide four background wallpaper images, you can have Windows flip through them every six hours, changing your background depending on the time of day.

    We tested this using the official macOS Mojave desktop backgrounds, which someone helpfully uploaded to Reddit. However, you can use any desktop background images you like.

    First, make a new folder and place the desktop backgrounds you want to use in it. If you plan to have your desktop background change every six hours, place four background images in it.

    Windows will go through the folder in alphanumerical order, so you'll need to name the images appropriately. The correct order depends on the current time of day.

    For example, if it's nearing the time when you want your sunset background applied, you should place a 1 in front of the filename of your sunset background, a 2 in front of your night background, a 3 in front of your sunrise background, and a 4 in front of your sunset background.

    Next, open the desktop background configuration screen by right-clicking the desktop and selecting "Personalize" or by heading to Settings > Personalization > Background on Windows 10.

    You can have Windows automatically change your desktop background on a schedule via the Task Scheduler, too. It's a more complex process because Windows doesn't include a built-in command that changes your desktop background. You can change the registry setting that points at your desktop background, but we couldn't find a built-in command that would reliably "refresh" that setting and apply your new wallpaper.

    Instead, we found that Microsoft's own BgInfo tool worked pretty well. BgInfo is meant for writing system information text onto your desktop background, but it provides a reliable way to change your desktop background using commands. You'll need to create several BgInfo configuration files containing the settings you want to apply, and then you'll create scheduled tasks that automatically run these from the Task Scheduler.

    To get started, download BgInfo from Microsoft and extract its files into a folder. Launch the "Bginfo64.exe" program if you're on a 64-bit version of Windows, or the Bginfo.exe file if you're on a 32-bit version of Windows.

    After you fire up BGInfo, first select all the text in the main box and erase it. Type a single space character (or multiple space characters) here. This will prevent BGInfo from inserting any text into your background and ensure it will only change the wallpaper.

    Second, click the "Background" button.

    In the Background window, select the "Use These Settings" option. Set the "Wallpaper Position" to either "Center" or "Stretch"---whatever you want to do with your background image. Then, click the "..." button to the right of the "Wallpaper Bitmap" box, and then browse to one of the background images you want to use.
