change the names of the themes.

Hello Michael,



You can change the names of your specified themes as personalized ones by simply following these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Click on Settings; then select Personalization.
• Under Personalization, select Themes.
• Click on Theme Settings.
• Under Windows Default Themes, right click on the desired theme; then click on
  Save Theme located in the lower left pane of My Themes.
• A small pop-up window will appear which will ask for a name. Enter the desired name; then, click on
  Save. The theme which has been modified will be under My Themes.
  

Kindly execute the same procedure with the rest of the themes that you desire to correct the names.



Feel free to reach out if you need anything else.

 

Corrupted Personalization Settings and themes

Hi Nkhondo,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you check if the settings are disable in the registries of the PC.

• 
  Press
  Windows+R and type gpedit.msc in the run command.
  
• 
  In the window that appears, you can see the "Local Group Policy Editor" Window.
  
• 
  In this step I want to Prevent Changing Theme file. You click on User Configuration sub-category Administrative Template sub-category Control Panel sub-category Personalization and click on the "Prevent
  Changing Theme".
  

User Configuration<< Administrative Template<< Control Panel<< Personalization

• 
  In this step right-click on the "Prevent Changing Theme"and select the
  edit tab and click on the edit tab.
  
• 
  In this step, if you click on the
  Enabled Button then you cannot change the Theme. You click on the Disable Button then you can change the Theme. You click on The Enable Button for Disabling the changing Theme or Prevent Changing Theme.
  
• 
  In this step right-click on your Desktop and select the Personalize tab. In this tab you are unable to change the theme after disabling the changing of the theme or Prevent
  Changing Theme.

How do you rename a "Theme" - under settings/personalization ?

Hi David,

A theme is a combination of desktop background pictures, window colors, and sounds. Which version of Windows 10 are you using? Is it the Anniversary Update or the Creators Update?

If you’re using Windows 10 version 1607, you can follow the steps below to create a backup of your Theme with your preferred name:

• Go to Settings.
• Select Personalization, then click Themes.
• Under Themes, click Theme settings.
• A new window will pop up.
• Choose the Theme you want to copy and click Save theme.
• Enter your preferred theme name.
