    My Surface 3 will not display the background picture while in tablet mode. I have tried turning the Transparency setting in Personalization > Colors on/off and it does nothing. I get the app tiles on a gray background. If I switch to desktop mode, the background displays as normal. The background displayed correctly before one of the updates. Now in tablet mode, it's nothing but grey background including the tiles. The icons in the middle of the tiles are still colored according to their app, but the tiles themselves are grey. That also changed from whichever update caused this. I was hopi

    Tablet Mode Background

    Hi,

    Do you mean that you when you change from normal to tablet mode, your back ground changes to grey?

    If that is the case, in the tablet mode, to change the background, follow the below steps.

    1. Press Windows key + I key > Settings.

    2. Settings >Personalization >Background > Preview > set the "background" to picture.

    Please let us know if the issue is resolved or you need any further assistance.

    Thank you.
