Windows 10: Custom desktop wallpaper disappears after every update

Hi there,

I run a small business with 8 computers running Windows 10. Each computer has multiple user accounts and my own administrator account. All users have a custom desktop background with the company logo and I use a different variation of it so I know the Admin account is logged in. The lock screen is also a custom company logo.

What's been happening though, is that after each windows 10 update the desktop wallpaper/background changes to a default windows 10 picture. This is really annoying as after each update I have to manually change the desktop personalisation for EACH account on EACH computer, so have to do it 24 times! (4 users x 8 computers).

Why does this behaviour happen and is there a way to stop it, because it's become really infuriating?

Windows 10 - Delivery Optimization hogging bandwidth

A feature update will restore most (if not all) of your custom settings back to default. I've had my custom wallpaper reverted to the default Windows 10 wallpaper every time after the creators update. Even the recent creators update also resets my Windows
Store setting where it turned on the app auto-update that hogs the bandwidth despite I've always had it turned off.

 

Windows 10: Desktop Wallpaper Disappears on Startup. Nothing sticks, not even default Windows themes

I've scoured the Internet for solutions and have found similar problems, but nothing exactly like what I'm experiencing.

Ever since upgrading to Windows 10 from 7, my wallpaper disappears on startup. Not immediately on startup, but after 30 seconds or so after startup. Nothing sticks, not even default Windows themes. It goes away and is replaced with a plain black wallpaper.

I'm not sure what other info is needed for someone to help, it really is as simple as that.

Hello, @NRB. Welcome to Windows TenForums.

I can imagine how frustrating that would be. I’m not a super advanced user, but I may be able to head you in the right direction. Below are some links with possibilities. The first is most likely your best bet. You may want to join in on a MS forum to ask questions as well.
