    Can't change my desktop background


    This is complicated.

    My colleague has pranked me at work, by somehow fixing my desktop background so that I can't change it. *Sad

    I'm running W10 32bit home edition.

    I've tried gpedit.msc - not available on home version.

    I've managed to change it to a solid colour, but i can't change the picture.

    Any help gratefully received.

    :)

    Windows won't keep my background. I want my laptop to have one background and my desktop to have a different one.

    Hello,

    this is a relatively simple problem but I can't find a solution for it. Basically, I have a desktop and a laptop, of which I want to have their own unique backgrounds, but whenever I change the background on one it changes it on the other. I want my laptop
    to have one background and my desktop to have a different one.

    Unable to change the Display Picture; Right click on desktop doesn't work

    *Original Title: Desktop background

    When I right click on my desktop screen, nothing happens. Why can't I change the desktop picture?
