Windows 10: my unactivated windows changed wallpaper and I can't change it back

I was using my computer as usual and everything was all right until I turned it off, when I turned it back on the next day my computer was with an unwanted wallpaper that I can't change back, given that my windows is not activated. the thing that scares me is how someone or some app changed my wallpaper without it even being possible to. I'm factory resetting my computer to see if it fixes it, I hope it does, but want to know how would I go about fixing this. If anyone can help I would be grateful.

Win-10 themes keep changing

Hi,

Thank you for providing the information.

• Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?

As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

• Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
• Select Theme and select the Default theme.
• Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
  and save it and check.

Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
