    Odd Wallpapers


    Hello everyone, I have no clue what could be causing this, but it has me a little freaked out and I want to have at least some frame of reference for stopping it.I'm on Windows 10. Every now and then, usually after playing Apex Legends, my wallpaper and lock screen will change to a random screenshot of me playing through. It's like screenshots are being taken at random intervals and are setting themselves as both my lock screen and wallpaper. There's never any indication of it happening; no visual queue, no sound effect, nothing. It doesn't happen too often, just often enough to freak me out;

    :)

  2. unable to change the lock screen Wallpaper.

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.


    • What is the exact issue that you are facing?

    • Are you facing issues while trying to change the lock screen Wallpaper?

    • Are you not able to choose the directory where the wallpapers has been saved?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to restart the computer and check if you are able to successfully change the lock screen wallpaper.


    • From Desktop, right click and select
      Personalize
      .

    • In Personalization window, click on
      Lock Screen
      in the left pane.

    • And choose wallpaper you would like to apply for the lock screen by choosing the browse option.

    • Close the Personalization window.
    If the issue still persists, please do reply with the required information. We will be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

  3. Desktop wallpaper for new users

    Hi Alaa,

    Setting default users lets you specify the wallpaper on user's desktops and prevents other users from changing the image or its presentation. You can check these steps on how to set wallpapers from all users:

    • Type run on the search bar and press Enter.
    • On the window, type gpedit.msc and click OK.
    • Locate and click Administrative Templates.
    • Select Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper.
    • Tick Enabled, and name your wallpaper.
    • Select Apply and click OK.

    After performing the steps above, you may restart your PC.

    Let us know the outcome. We will be glad to assist you.
