Windows 10: Can't Save Background Image as my Desktop Theme

So the process is like this, I find an image I want to use as my Desktop theme, I chose it. I used to be able to go to the Themes menu and be able to save it, and give it a title. That's no longer the case.I can't save background images as Themes anymore unless I go back and forth, who knows how many times just to cheese it in such a way that it somehow saves the background images for me without showing one of my previous background saved images and title. How is this so hard when it was easy before, it's a few simple clicks.-Go to Background; Pick Image or Go to Folder, Set as background.-Rig

Saved image desktop backgrounds

And that was my answer. You download a picture from the web to desktop, set it as background. Windows will take a copy of that image and put it in: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
but rename it as TrancodeWallpaper. Now if you make a copy of it and put on the desktop, rename it as Transcodewallpaper.jpg, you'll see that image again.

So if you set your background with some other image, Windows will override TrancodeWallpaper with the new image.

Saved image desktop backgrounds


Sry.. No have been there. That is default Windows 10 themes.. that directory does not even host the Windows themes that you download when adding more through the windows systems "get more themes online" let alone the personal single desktop pictures that you store ( which is what im asking the directory for )... However, thank you for your time.

Edit: save a picture off google to your desktop, then set that picture as your background, then delete that picture from where you saved it (your desktop), then notice that that picture is still your background, then try to find out how to delete that from your system.. is what I am saying.
