Windows 10: My wallpaper just changed to a strange avatar - Whoa!

My wallpaper changed, on its own, from a rotating picture gallery my pictures to a picture of an avatar of a large <removed> female read-head. Eset and Malware Bytes come back clean. What is happening? How do I fix this? How do I prevent this from happening in the future?

Can't Change avatar in Avatar Gadget

Hi,

Whenever you change your avatar’s appearance, it may take some time for your avatar’s portrait picture to be updated on the avatars.xbox.com site.

Try refreshing the gadget.
