    How to Get Windows 10’s Old Default Desktop Background Back


    Hi all -

    Thought that this might be of interest:

    "Strangely enough, Windows 10’s original desktop background has been removed from the latest version of Windows 10, build 1903.
    You’ll have to download it from the web or copy its files from an older Windows 10 PC."

    Enjoy.

    I find the original wallpaper dull and boring:

    I am using a brighter one:

    Enjoy.

    Many thanks for posting this. I find the original desktop background much easier on my eyes. I am also intrigued by the wallpaper Kari posted. Very attractive color.

    You're welcome. I also find it easier on my eyes - that's the reason why I posted this.

    BTW - I know what Crizal is...

    No problem. If you could turn on your PM, I can send you a link for some good images to choose from.
