    How to remove images imposed on screen background


    I have somehow caused my monitor to show images that cover the whole of the screen. They are from my desktop PC and all the colours are making it difficult to see the icons. What do I do to sort this out back to a plain colour please.Windows 10 Home 22H2.

    1) Turn off the desktop background.
