    Problem with desktop background changing


    I have googled this for days now and tried all the remedies offered and none seems to work for me. I have an image which I want to use for desktop background. I select it in personalize/background/ picture. In a couple of minutes the background changes to an all black background. Have no idea how to stop windows from doing this. I even chose "slideshow", created a folder called wallpaper and placed only that image in the folder and it still goes back to the black background in a matter of minutes. How can I tell windows to cease and desist with this behaviour? thx.

    Hi, I don't know which fixes you've tried - usually that means people suggesting things leading to the response 'tried it, it doesn't work'.

    Anyway...
    Make sure this isn't set:
    Turn On or Off Desktop Background Image in Windows 10 Windows 10 Customization Tutorials

    Try the equivalent of
    Black Desktop Background Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums

    Make sure sync isn't affecting it (option 5)
    Change Desktop Background in Windows 10 Windows 10 Customization Tutorials

    See

    Do you have any 3rd party wallpaper change program?

    Do you have a theme with black wallpaper that might be being applied?
