Shuffle All Wallpaper on Continuous not working

Setting the wallpaper to shuffle all continuously does not change the wallpaper. Ever. Been broken since Sonoma.


Steps to reproduce:


  1. Open Settings
  2. Goto Wallpaper
  3. Select Shuffle All under Shuffle Aerials


All Apple wallpaper have been downloaded to computer. This appears to be happening to all my devices running MacOS Tahoe.


Only one wallpaper is shown and does not change.

MacBook Pro 16″

A big "thank you" to jrollio! On Sequoia, I was able to have any wallpaper of my choice while having screen savers continuously shuffle. When I upgraded to Tahoe, that setting was maintained, but no shuffle. I filed a bug report. Just now, I saw your response on this thread. I selected the shuffle all aerials, continuously, in the wallpaper setting. I then went to screen saver and the setting there changed from custom to automatic and showed the shuffle all picture. It worked! I guess the shuffle doesn't work if the screen saver and wallpaper are not the same.

I never would've thought of it.
