    Background picture turning dark automatically in Windows 10

    Hello Byron 1213,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    To address your concern, kindly help us with the following queries:

    • Does the same issue occur when you set a default picture as the background? Have you tried changing it to a different picture?
    • Which version of Windows is installed on your machine?
    • Does the background picture gets dark? Or is it the dark mode that gets enabled automatically?
    • Were there any changes made to the computer prior to the issue?

    According to the description, it seems like the Dark mode is getting enabled. I would suggest you to change the settings to Light mode and check if the issue persists. If yes, kindly check with the steps listed below and see if it works.

    Method 1: Update Display drivers.

    The issue could be occur due to the outdated display drivers that are installed on your machine. So, I would suggest you to update the drivers from Device Manager. To do that,

    • Right click on the Start menu and click on
      Device Manager
      .
    • Navigate to Display adapters and expand it.
    • Right click on the driver to choose Update driver.
    • If you've already on the latest driver build, you may visit your PC manufacturer's website to download and install the display drivers.


    For reference, you may follow the suggestions provided in the article on
    Update drivers in Windows 10.


    Method 2: Create a new user profile.

    The issue could be occurring due to user profile corruption as well, so you may create a new user profile and see if that works. To create a new user account, you may refer the article on

    Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.


    Kindly get back to us with the results. Will be glad to assist you further if the issue persists.

    Regards,

    Mala S

  3. Background applications

    Hi Robert,

    We understand that you don't want some apps to run on the background of your computer. What we suggest is to
    control which apps are allowed to run in the background. To see which apps have permission, just follow the below steps:

    • Open the Start menu or Start screen and select “Settings.”
    • Click or tap the “Privacy” icon in the Settings.
    • Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select “Background apps.”
    • You’ll see a list of apps that have permission to run in the background with an “On/Off” toggle.
    Just bear in mind that, apps normally run in the background to update their live tiles, download new data, and receive notifications. If you want an app to continue performing these functions, you should allow it to continue running in
    the background.

    Feel free to update us with the results.

    Dark background for emails?

    Sorry to say that the emails don have dark background.. we have to live by that. Btw, its a nice choice to have dark background for mails so that battery also is less utilized.
