    Problem Changing Background


    Hey peoples--

    New to Windows 10, big fan so far. Although I have a recurring issue that has carried over from 8.
    Ever since I switched to the first new background, I have not been able to change to something new.

    On Windows 8, it would switch to a blank color of my choice for the back ground.
    On 10, it will stay on the one image I picked back in February and won't budge.
    Google searches have not helped at all! If anyone has any secret formula and advice, I would love my customization back!

    thanks!*cake*cake

    :)

    Windows 10 File Explorer doesn't highlight selected file(s) or folder(s)

    Using Personalize o change the background color fixed this for me as well. I had a background picture, but I changed to Solid Color, then changed the color and verified that it fixed the problem. I then switched back to the background picture.

    Windows 10 Settings Background

    The background color in Windows Settings has turned from White to Black.
    I don’t know why the background has changed color. I did not change anything that I am aware of.



    I would like to change the Windows Settings background back to White as it is easier for me to read.



    I have researched the problem, but all I could find was how to change the Desktop Background color.
    Since my problem is the Windows Settings screen, there does not seem to be anything available.



    Any assistance appreciated.

    Problem Changing Background

    You could try this. Drop this line into either the run command or a command prompt (no need for admin rights) and see if using the old GUI helps any.

    " control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper "
