Windows 10: desktop changed without my asking to do such...

I am starting to detest more and more Windows 10... I sure wish Windows XP were still in force!


I have a desktop computer... the screen was doing well when all of a sudden it turned white and the icons are on it the way they were... but all of a sudden an image I had on the desktop took over and everything turned "white" and the image I just mentioned took over and changed my blue background wo white and that image is taking over..

I am too bloody old in my late 80's to understand what I need to get my screen back to what it was... I shut my system, reopened it hoping it would get back to normal... no way Josè!

I was thinking that if I were to get my system to go back to the way it was say a week ago or whatever, it might get back to normal... could that be a solution?

Please let me know... I am not a happy camper right now! :- I sure wish Windows XP were still in force!

Thank you in advance...

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

Cannot change desktop icon

Sometimes a desktop icon changes from what it was to a plain white folder. Might be something I did but not sure what.

To change it to the icon I want, I go:

1. Rt-click icon > Properties > Change icon
2. I select the icon I want from the thumbnails of icons.
3. Click OK
4. Click Apply

But the icon does not change. It just stays looking like a white folder.
HOWEVER, if I pin the icon to the taskbar, the icon on the taskbar does look like the icon I selected in step-2. So the change is registered with Win10 but the icon on the desktop just doesn't change.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
