    Desktop background randomly goes completely black


    I think there were already signs of this bound to happen when I noticed a while back that my desktop was refreshing randomly, but I didn't really make anything of it. I've done numerous virus scans with everything updated via Malwarebytes Premium and my own Windows Defender Program and it always tells me I'm clean. Now, my background on my desktop just goes black randomly and a way to fix it is to just refresh the background and my wallpaper comes back...Also, sometimes when I click and hold down my left mouse button and drag to create a box on my desktop, it'll create blackness instead of being transparent like it usually is and the black stays. Can anyone please help me? This is starting to bug me real bad. I have everything updated. Windows 10, my graphic card's drivers, everything. Really not sure what in the hell is causing this..

    :)

    Right Clicking Next desktop background not working in Windows 10

    I have the same issue and sfc /scannow completes without any issues identified. Not sure what to do with the reference to msvcp_win.dll in the instructions above?

    Slideshow does not change when I right click and choose the Next Desktop Photo option. The only way I can change the desktop imiage is to right click choose Personalization and wait till it changes and then close it. I have the interval set to 1 minute.

    When this started happening, the icons on my Desktop started to randomly change to black boxes or get messed up completely and the desktop image disappears and is left with a black background. If I Log off and log on the Desktop returns to normal for a
    few minutes.

    Windows 10 Background Disappears?

    Hello, as of my last background switch my computer's background just randomly goes black. It happens every thirty minutes or so and is extremely annoying. I've tried other things that I've seen here on these forums and on other ones to no avail. Any help
    would be appreciated.

    Desktop background randomly goes completely black

    Not sure how to edit my post (can't find an edit button anywhere), but here's a photo of my screen black and me dragging my mouse cursor while holding the left click down. Apparently, I start removing the black by doing this and it reveals my wallpaper, little by little. It's so weird and I don't know what is causing this.
