  1. Help! Second hand laptop keeps reverting wallpaper by means of a deleted application


    I recently got a laptop from a friend, Everytime I try to change the desktop or lock screen wallpaper, after a few minutes it reverts to a slideshow that my friend says was from an application that he deleted before giving the laptop to me, and can no longer remember the name of. Is there anyway I can fix this? Thank you.

  3. Wallpaper setting reverts to Center when changing to new wallpaper

    Hi!

    I have a laptop and every time I change my wallpaper, it reverts back to "Center" Option in Personalize menu. My laptop's screen resolution is 3840*2160, but regardless of the dimension of the wallpaper, if I put a wallpaper of 10000*5625 (which is a 16*9
    ratio indeed), it returns back to a small pic in the middle of the screen as I restart. This time if I change the setting to "Fill" or "Fit", It's OK till the next change of wallpaper.

    What is the problem?

    ***Original title: My wallpapers revert back to "Center" every time I change it.***

    Reverting Wallpaper Windows 10

    My wallpaper continues to revert back to another image I used to previously had. This is very annoying.

    My account is NOT synced.

    I have tried created a theme with my preferred wallpaper, doesn't work.

    I've tried deleting the location of the previous image, it doesn't seem to disappear from the wallpaper option.

    I have tried options in these forums and thus far nothing has worked.

    Someone help please.

    Thanks.
