Windows 11 Pro but this should apply to windows 10 as well I assume? Not long ago, I notice my wallpaper kept on changing every so often. I believe this was after a windows update. Then I recently did a dell firmware update. After the dell firmware update, I notice the wallpaper changing every so often. I then notice an icon called Learn about this picture showing. It might have been there before but I didn't notice it until recently.


Does anyone know why my wallpaper keeps on changing? Previously, my wallpaper never changed. It had to been a windows update that caused this? I did a few windows update whenever it tells me to do an update.


However, I never had my wallpaper changed. It seems to change a few times a day when I have my laptop open all day. I read online this has to do with the background setting? However, I didn't have this issue previously?
