Apparently

To enable a slideshow for your desktop background while your laptop is on battery power through a registry tweak, follow these steps:

1. **Open Notepad**:
- Press `Win + R`, type `notepad`, and hit Enter.

2. **Copy and Paste the Following Code


Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PowerSettings]
"SlideshowOnBattery"=dword:00000001

This tweak sets the `SlideshowOnBattery` value to `1`, enabling the slideshow feature while on battery.

3. **Save the File as a `.reg` File**:
- Go to `File > Save As`.
- Under "Save as type," choose `All Files`.
- Name it something like `EnableSlideshowOnBattery.reg` and save it to a location of your choice.

4. **Run the `.reg` File**:
- Double-click the file you just created.
- Allow it to add the entries to your registry when prompted.

5. **Restart Your Laptop**:
- Restart your system to ensure the changes take effect.

interesting. it should be

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Power\PowerSettings\309dce9b-bef4-4119-9921-a851fb12f0f4]
"DCSettingIndex"=dword:00000001

but that doesnt work... nor does the GPO:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Power Management > Video and Display Settings > Turn on desktop background slideshow (on battery)

now i'm curious...
