Windows 10: Can I get daily tasks from my calendar to always display on my desktop background?

So all I want is something that is always on my desktop wout me having to click anything with the date and my tasks/schedule for the day. How would I do this on windows 10?

Custom desktop background that updates daily

Hi,

We loved your suggestion to have a a background with a countdown for an specified date. We can consider this suggestion for future updates. To give you another option, we suggest to use Windows spotlight instead. Kindly follow the steps below to configure
it:

• Open Settings app.
• Click on Personalization
• Click on Lockscreen tab at the left panel.
• Under Background, select Windows spotlight.
• Under Choose an app to show detailed status, select
  Calendar app icon.

Note: Please make sure that you are logged in to Calendar app where the appointments was set.

Let us know if you have further assistance.

 

Windows 10 background/slideshow breaks after invoking Task View - please try and see

I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue on Windows 10 build 10240 (or any other post RTM build).

Steps to reproduce issue:

• Right click on desktop and select Personalize
• From the Personalization -> Background screen, select "Slideshow" as background
• Browse to a directory with your pics
• Exit Personalization
• Right Click desktop and select "Next desktop background" a few times, to confirm background image is changing
• From the Task Bar, click on the icon "Task View"
• From the Task View screen, click on one of your active apps or anywhere in the background to exit.
• Repeat step 5
• Does your desktop background suddenly disappear? Are you able to switch to the next desktop background if you try a few more times?

The problem I am experiencing is that the background image disappears, and trying to switch to the next desktop background no longer does anything (ie; the background stays black/blank).

Interestingly, if you click on Task View again, you will see the "next desktop background" image displayed. If you click any app or the background to get out of Task View, your next desktop background is displayed again. But if you repeat step 5 above,
the problem happens all over again. The only way to fix this behavior, is to reboot.

I'm wondering if this issue is unique to my system, or a general Windows 10 bug.

Would appreciate if anyone could give it a try.

 

Lost desktop background

I did a Search & Distroy spyware scan the other day, and one of the suggested "fixes" said something about removing Active Desktop. Like the muppet I am I clicked yes and am now without a desktop background picture.

Does anyone have an idea how to reverse this? If I try to select a picture it's simply not added as a background.
