    change desktop background color

    Hi,

    To change the desktop background into a solid color, see the steps below:

    • Right-click on the desktop, and select Personalize.
    • Under Personalization, select Background.
    • On the right pane, click on the drop-down menu for Background, and then select
      Solid color.
    • Choose your preferred color and it should immediately make changes.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Desktop background doesn't display pictures instead solid color or blank screen

    *Original Title: Desktop display issues.

    I cannot set any pictures as background. When I do, the background changes to a solid color. Usually black. I cannot even set Windows images to the background. This just started and I do not have a clue why. I have had the same picture on my desktop for
    some time. And now when I go to try and set the background to another image/picture, it switches to a solid color background. Tried troubleshooting various options and nothing seems to work on solving this issue. Please help. Do not want to spend forever on
    the chat help line. Thank you.

    Solid White as a Background

    hey,

    As I can see, no white background appears in the list of Solid colors.

    You may google White picture, save it to the desktop and set it as desktop background.
