How to Set Now Playing Artist Art in Groove Music app as Desktop Background in Windows 10
The included Groove Music app in Windows 10 allows you to listen to your favorite music on your Windows, iOS, and Android devices. You can create a playlist with music you've purchased or uploaded to OneDrive or pick your background music on Xbox One.
Starting with version 10.17112.1531.0, Groove Music app allows you to turn on or off having the Now Playing artist art display as your desktop background wallpaper.
This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off setting the Now Playing artist art in the Groove Music app as the desktop background wallpaper for your account in Windows 10.
If you wanted to restore your original desktop background wallpaper, you will need to manually change it.
If the artist art for your Now Playing isn't populated in My music > Artists in Groove Music, then it will not change your desktop background wallpaper since there isn't any artist art available.
