My Desktop on Windows 10 Keep Going Black...

So, every time I have downloaded things onto my computer, whether it be games or files, my desktop background will immediately go black after having moved the downloaded file or program to the desktop for ease of access. Its starting to become a nuisance,
and will not stop happening no matter what I do. I have even tried to get used to the black background, only for it to change back after I download something the original background that I had wanted in the first place. The only way I am able to get rid of
it before downloading a new file or program is by selecting all of my files on my desktop and outlining the actual desktop. Then the black screen turns to my original background.

Make shortcuts yourself for this on desktop ? Only Windows 10 apps you tried to put on desktop, as i see Mail app for one ? I believe this can not be done with Live tiles on the desktop, only other software on the system can.


For any others can try to rebuild icon cache https://www.windowsphoneinfo.com/threads/rebuild-icon-cache-in-windows-10.7636/
Can locate file and create another shortcut.

 

That worked for 10 seconds. I had to delete them and drag them bag onto the desktop. Then they didn't respond so I had to restart. That wasn't responsive either so ctrl alt delete sign out, then fatal error with cortana. Now they are white again I think it might be acronis 2014 as when I was restarting it said it was terminating actions. So off to try and find out how to completely stop that running in the background until I need it. Thank you JDS

 

Your welcome!
Not sure i like error part with anything, had unresponsive system then.
What worked, recreate icons did you try rebuild icon cache? Again can not put Live tiles there i am pretty sure.When put regular software icons, how are you doing this exactly ? Opening file locations here C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Startmenu/Programs

 

Disabled Acronis 2014 and rebuilt again and seems to be ok. Scared to speak to soon. But I definately think it was Acronis 2014.

 

Was some talk about compatibility of Acronis 2014 and Windows 10 back in June-July, not sure if it was fixed or need 2015 updates. Strange how it caused this issue, but not familiar with use of this software anymore .

 

What do you use now ? And what is the best root folder for windows screen beam?

 

I do not use any imaging software, but many use free Macrium Reflect. Again not familiar with use of this
