Windows 10: Background Faded

When I did the last upgrade my background faded out, why is it so faint?

:)

 

Faded background

Updates on Windows 10 have made my desktop background faded and dark. The three menu lines at the top left appear and the image appears behind the apps on the Start menu. I've deleted all of those app shortcuts but the background still won't come to the
fore. I'd prefer to see my background as brightly as I used to. How do I achieve this?

 

Microsoft Store Fading

Hi Angela,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We regret the inconvenience you are facing. Before I suggest you some troubleshooting steps and confuse you more, can you share what exactly happens with the Windows Store?

• 
  What do you mean by fades away? Does it crash?
  
• 
  Are you not able to sign in to Windows Store? What error message do you get?
  

Please get back to us with the required information. We will be happy to assist you.

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.
