  1. Background still getting compressed after trying everything.


    Ive been trying to stop having my background images compressed and ive tried everything and nothing worked. Ive tried updating regedit many times, ive restarted my device almost 10 times and nothing has been working. It seems like it has been working for everyone but me. Ive even tried editing a wallpaper folder. I really dont know what to do and im tired of having my backgrouds compressed when I download a high quality image.

    :)
