Windows 10: Backgrounds wont cycle properly

I have 2 monitors, the backgrounds on them are set to cycle every 24 hours. However, the second monitor no longer cycles. If I restart my computer it fixes itself but I shouldnt have to do this everytiem i turn my computer on.

:)

 

win 10 starts normally then after minutes begins to cycle the desktop

Completed all steps. Checker tool found no problems. The DNS flush was completed.

Machine still cycles the desktop and doesn't allow any programs to run.

Since it does not cycle in safe mode, that suggests some background program is the problem. What program would cause a repeated resetting of the desktop?

Suggestions?

 

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.
