Windows 10: New wallpaper does not cover the whole screen?

Since I found my old wallpaper boring after all these years, I decided to make a new one. The problem is that it does not cover the whole screen, but only a part of it and the upper border is completely black

The screen now looks like this







What can I do so that the picture covers the whole screen or that black bar up there disappears ?

Many thanks in advance
