  1. Setting Wallpaper Position using Registry


    Hi I've recently been given a Windows 10 machine and I've noticed the trick of setting the HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop registry entries for WallpaperOriginX and WallpaperOriginY no longer positions the wallpaper where I want it on the screen.


    Can anyone help? Thx

    :)

  2. Wallpaper setting reverts to Center when changing to new wallpaper

    Hi Fereidoun,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing issues while setting up wallpaper on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
    2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
    3. Have you tried setting a wallpaper with lower resolution ratio?


    Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and see if that helps.



    Method 1:



    Try clearing the wallpaper cache and see if the issue persists.



    1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
      Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run
    2. In Run dialog box, type appdata and hit
      Enter.
    3. Double-click on
      Roaming
      folder.
    4. Now open Microsoft folder and then
      Windows folder.
    5. Double-click on
      Themes
      folder.
    6. Right click on TranscodedWallpaper and click on
      Delete.
    7. Try setting the wallpaper again.


    Method 2:



    Create a new user account to isolate the issue related to user account corruption. Refer the article

    Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10




    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    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?

      .

    • 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.
