Personalization of themes

I recently got a new laptop. I want to change my theme with a photo, but that option is not available when I go to the Theme option on personalization. Just a theme that Microsoft has listed. I don't want a slideshow. I want to choose from one photo
and there is no browse option on the theme screen like there was on my old laptop. I can choose photo just fine for my lock screen picture, but not the Theme.....Please help. Thanks

 

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.
