Windows 10: Batch or Reg edit to toggle Background profiles?

Is there some for sort of reg edit trick or batch file (The later being more like. I know they are very different) to set two background/wallpaper "profiles"?
By default, I have my wallpaper set to a folder based slideshow. But if I host a conference meeting with a client, I want to have a static wallpaper of my logo. Currently I have my logo image pinned to start menu. I can open it and set as wallpaper "easy enough", but then I have to go to my personalize settings to change it back to the folder slideshow. The meetings are fairly brief and happen periodically, so its enough to be frustrating or tedious. This is an esthetics thing only, so no big deal, but if I could have one, or even two files pinned to start that automatically toggles from one setting/profile to the other, that'd be amazing!

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Your time and any feedback will be deeply appreciated!

Import reg file in a batch file

I suggest that, as a first step, you edit the batch file so it captures the errorlevel after the reg import command.

- Something simple such asecho The reg import command result is - %ErrorLevel% will do as long as long as you put it in as the line straight after the reg import command and then put aPause command in as the next line [before restarting explorer] so you can have a look.

- Checking the errorlevel will tell you whether reg import thinks it has completed correctly or not.
- While you are checking the errorlevel you could also go to the Registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search] to see what has happened to it [make sure you Refresh the view if you were already at that key beforehand]



I have never used reg import but I know there are optional arguments for 32/64 bit items so perhaps you might investigate them
- enter reg import /? >RegImport.txt in a command prompt to save the Help guidance that mentions these switches.
- I do not think these switches are relevant but I have never investigated their use properly.
- For all I know, the problem might be as simple as reg import not being able to handle the comment lines, such as ; Cartella utente, properly

Best of luck,

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.
