  1. My background picture has gone


    Hello!

    The picture I have as my background has gone.

    If I open personalisation the picture shows it also shows in theme, but not on the screen.

    The screen is black with the icons on it.

    I can't find a way of getting my picture back.

    Any ideas, please?


    I'm running Win10 home ver: 1809

    :)

  2. Changing the background in Windows 10 from picture foders created on the hard drive?

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay in response



    I would suggest you to try the following steps:






    • Open Desktop Background by right clicking on the desktop clicking Personalization

    • Click the picture or color that you want to use for your desktop background.

    • If the picture you want to use isn't in the list of desktop background pictures, click an item in the Picture location list to see other categories, or click Browse to search for the picture on your computer.
      When you find the picture that you want, double-click it. It will become your desktop background.




    Hope this helps.
