Windows 10: Black Screen Of Wallpaper When Wallpaper is On External Drive

This might be a specific question, however, I want to make sure my drive is ok. Up until about a week ago, I was using my wallpaper from an external drive. My pc started experiencing black screens on the desktop. I narrowed it down to it being the fact that it was on the drive. I switched to the local disk, and it started working. Everything on the drive is acting like normal. Should I be worried that it is a bad drive? Should I transfer the data to a different drive? Thanks!

Background Wallpaper

Hello Svetlana,



I think you did not get what I ask about wallpaper, I have mentioned that is it possible to set the background wallpaper at home screen and menu list screen not the LOCK SCREEN. I know for lock screen wallpapers can be set. In windows phone 8 we can set
only black and white background for home screens. I don't know what Microsoft has think to put such thing in mobiles. At least wallpapers supposed to be there for HOME SCREENS.
