    Personalize Desktop


    Hello,
    I have a folder with 5 image files to set as desktop wallpapers, once set and each boot desktop was one of these images.
    Since last upgrade when I boot, those 5 images gone, some windows selected images are instead. Start to browse to change the images from that folder (the images are in that folder as I set them from the beginning), it starts annoying.
    How to fix it?
    Answers will be appreciated
    Thanks


    Win 10 1809 x64 build 832

    :)
