I understand that you are facing issues while setting up wallpaper on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
   
2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
   
3. Have you tried setting a wallpaper with lower resolution ratio?

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and see if that helps.



Method 1:

   Enter.
   
3. Double-click on
   Roaming folder.
   
4. Now open Microsoft folder and then
   Windows folder.
   
5. Double-click on
   Themes folder.
   
6. Right click on TranscodedWallpaper and click on
   Delete.
   
7. Try setting the wallpaper again.
   

Method 2:



Create a new user account to isolate the issue related to user account corruption. Refer the article

I want that on my desktop Automatic wallpaper change

Hello,

This is Sudha Independent Advisor and user like you. Please follow below steps to solve your issue

Windows has a built-in slideshow feature that can automatically change your wallpaper after a set interval. This feature only works with your own collection of wallpapers so the wallpapers must be downloaded first.

Below is a step-by-step explanation on how to use this feature:

1. Windows 10 only accepts a single folder containing wallpaper collection. So first, put all your favorite wallpapers in a single folder.

2. Now move to Windows Settings > Personalize > Background. Here click on the drop-down menu below Background and select Slideshow.

3. Afterward, click on the Browse button below and select the wallpaper collection folder you created.

4. To set the interval, click on the drop-down menu below the Change picture every heading and select the required interval (ranging from 1 minute to 1 day).

That’s it, now your desktop screen will automatically switch to a new wallpaper after the set interval.
