  1. Is there a way to randomly change the desktop background on startup?


    I wrote a script to randomly change my desktop background, and it works. BUT, I can not get it to run through task scheduler or even the run console. Was able to get a shortcut to run it, but I can not get it to run automatically. I need it to run on startup, not logon, for that I could just throw my script into the folder.

    Here’s the action:


    powershell.exe -executionpolicy Bypass -file “\public\wallpaper randomizer v3.ps1” -force

    Reminder: the script works on its own.

  2. Desktop Background Randomly changing

    My Desktop Background keeps changing from the Wallpapers file I choose to a desktop background where it only shows a few of my pictures. All of your previous answers were for older systems and it seems over 50 people have asked similar question. Can
    we provide a step by step fix for most current version of Microsoft please?
