Windows 10: not seeing desktop background in task view

I am running windows 11 build 22631. I am using windows spotlight for desktop background but when i open task view I am seeing the generic file icon instead of the background

Windows 10 background/slideshow breaks after invoking Task View - please try and see

I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue on Windows 10 build 10240 (or any other post RTM build).

Steps to reproduce issue:

• Right click on desktop and select Personalize
• From the Personalization -> Background screen, select "Slideshow" as background
• Browse to a directory with your pics
• Exit Personalization
• Right Click desktop and select "Next desktop background" a few times, to confirm background image is changing
• From the Task Bar, click on the icon "Task View"
• From the Task View screen, click on one of your active apps or anywhere in the background to exit.
• Repeat step 5
• Does your desktop background suddenly disappear? Are you able to switch to the next desktop background if you try a few more times?

The problem I am experiencing is that the background image disappears, and trying to switch to the next desktop background no longer does anything (ie; the background stays black/blank).

Interestingly, if you click on Task View again, you will see the "next desktop background" image displayed. If you click any app or the background to get out of Task View, your next desktop background is displayed again. But if you repeat step 5 above,
the problem happens all over again. The only way to fix this behavior, is to reboot.

I'm wondering if this issue is unique to my system, or a general Windows 10 bug.

Would appreciate if anyone could give it a try.

 

Individual desktop backgrounds in Task View

I am looking for a way to introduce per-task view desktop background in Windows 10. I have tried changing the background when viewing the individual task views, however, it seems to be that the background is changed globally.

Is there any setting / registry entry that would allow per-task view desktop wallpaper assignment?

 

Can't change background on Virtual Desktop (Task View) Hi,

I see a lot of users online get the option to change background for each virtual desktop inside task view.
In my case, however, I don't get this option and wonder why? This seems to be a native feature now and according to windows update, I have the latest build.

Can someone help me? This would be a very good option to visually separate different test environments.

Only have the option to rename - See screenshot:
