    I'm not sure how to replicate this, but it happens frequently yet seemingly randomly. I'm not sure if there is an accidental set of keys I'm pressing when I'm deleting the pictures, but basically, I open the folder, I use the mouse to highlight a bunch of pictures, then I hit "delete" on my keyboard and then press "enter" quickly after. Usually this works fine, but every now and again, it will for some reason change my desktop background preferences to "slideshow" in the folder where I was deleting from. I'm not sure how to prevent this. Any help would be appreciated!

    :)

  2. Solid White as a Background

    hey,

    As I can see, no white background appears in the list of Solid colors.

    You may google White picture, save it to the desktop and set it as desktop background.

    I have added one image here also, if you can see.

    Hi,

    To change the desktop background into a solid color, see the steps below:

    • Right-click on the desktop, and select Personalize.
    • Under Personalization, select Background.
    • On the right pane, click on the drop-down menu for Background, and then select
      Solid color.
    • Choose your preferred color and it should immediately make changes.

    Let us know how it goes.
