    How do I fix the extremely long desktop background change length?


    This is my second or third time posting about this same issue but I have not had any response so hoping maybe this time I get one, any tips or guides or anything for me to further research.
    I have had no issues with background changes, it used to take less than a second for it to change, I have not changed any method, any app or anything that comes into mind, but now when I try to change a wallpaper by right clicking on a picture and select "set as desktop background" it takes about 5-10 second and its really disturbing.

    What could be the issue and how could I fix or look into?

    :)

    Lost desktop background

    I did a Search & Distroy spyware scan the other day, and one of the suggested "fixes" said something about removing Active Desktop. Like the muppet I am I clicked yes and am now without a desktop background picture.

    Does anyone have an idea how to reverse this? If I try to select a picture it's simply not added as a background.
