Here's how to Fix The Wallpapers folder isn’t supported because of its location. Please choose another folder on Windows.

There are a few things you can try to fix the error "The Wallpapers folder isn't supported because of its location. Please choose another folder" when setting a slideshow for your desktop background or lock screen in Windows 10:

1. **Make sure the folder is actually a folder of wallpapers.** The folder you select must contain only image files with the .jpg, .jpeg, .png, or .bmp extension. If the folder contains any other types of files, Windows 10 will not be able to use it as a slideshow source.
2. **Make sure the folder is not located in a protected location.** Windows 10 does not allow you to set a slideshow for your desktop background or lock screen from a folder that is located in a protected location, such as the System32 folder. If the folder you are trying to use is located in a protected location, Windows 10 will display the error message "The Wallpapers folder isn't supported because of its location. Please choose another folder."
3. **Try using a different folder.** If you have tried the above steps and you are still getting the error message, try using a different folder. Make sure the folder contains only image files with the .jpg, .jpeg, .png, or .bmp extension, and make sure the folder is not located in a protected location.

If you have tried all of the above steps and you are still getting the error message, you may need to contact Microsoft support for further assistance.

i. There are a few reasons why you might not be able to change your lock screen wallpaper in Windows 10.

* **Your organization has disabled the ability to change the lock screen wallpaper.** If you are using a work or school account, your IT administrator may have disabled the ability to change the lock screen wallpaper. To check if this is the case, open Settings - Personalization - Lock screen. If the "Background" setting is grayed out, then your IT administrator has disabled the ability to change the lock screen wallpaper.
* **You are using a pirated version of Windows 10.** If you are using a pirated version of Windows 10, you may not be able to change the lock screen wallpaper. This is because pirated versions of Windows 10 are often missing features that are available in the genuine version of Windows 10.
* **There is a problem with your computer's settings.** If you have tried all of the above steps and you are still unable to change your lock screen wallpaper, there may be a problem with your computer's settings. To fix this, you can try resetting your computer's settings to their default values. To do this, open Settings - Update & security - Recovery - Reset this PC - Get started.
* **There is a problem with your computer's hardware.** If you have tried all of the above steps and you are still unable to change your lock screen wallpaper, there may be a problem with your computer's hardware. To fix this, you will need to contact a computer technician for assistance.
