    Wallpaper setup in Windows 10

    Hello everyone,

    laugh all you want, but I have an issue with Windows 10 and setting up wallpapers. Right click-> background doesn't help. I want the old school screen I have seen in Windows 8. I want to set up a dual monitor wallpaper. This command used to take me to the right place :

    control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper , but now it doesn't. What could be the problem here ?

    The wallpaper page is no longer available from Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Personlization > Desktop background like in Windows 8. Why did they change this is beyond my understanding. Anyone with an idea is more than welcomed.

    Windows version is : 1703 ( OS build 15063.483 )
    Windows edition: Home
    Activation status: Digital license linked to my MS Account

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Wallpaper setting reverts to Center when changing to new wallpaper

    Hi Fereidoun,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    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?


    Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



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



    Method 1:



    Try clearing the wallpaper cache and see if the issue persists.



    1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
      Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run
    2. In Run dialog box, type appdata and hit
      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

    Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10




    Let us know how it goes.
