Easy to do?
Hit the Windows key and type as much of the word “wallpaper” as you need for autofill to come up with “Choose your desktop background” the background control panel. As you can see, it only took two letters for me.

Here is the resulting window. Under “Background” choose Slideshow then select “Browse” to “Choose albums for your slideshow” which really means to choose a folder containing the jpegs you want for your backgrounds. I have chosen a folder containing screenshots of games I have played.

Under “Change picture every” which I have already selected so you can see the full range of options available, choose “1 day”. That’s it. You’re done. Enjoy.
