Windows 10: The beautiful background that I have chosen has "film" look

The beautiful background that I have chosen has "filmy" look on it now. This past weekend my daughter and her husband were using my computer and now it has that look. I have tried personalisation. I also tried some other settings that adjusted the light on it, but that had no affect. I'm not great at these things so I would really appreciate some help.

Calculator, Settings, Xbox and Films & TV running in background

I decided not to call this a question because I feel this is normal and not some kind of bug.

This was only brought to my attention after I installed ObjectDock, but for some reason the programs listed above started randomly running in the background for no apparent reason. I had not used Calculator or Films & TV throughout my entire session, but
I had used Xbox and Settings occasionally.

I have no idea why, or what kind of benefit it brings. I just find it interesting that these specific applications are running in the background.

Background applications

Hi Robert,

We understand that you don't want some apps to run on the background of your computer. What we suggest is to
control which apps are allowed to run in the background. To see which apps have permission, just follow the below steps:

• Open the Start menu or Start screen and select “Settings.”
• Click or tap the “Privacy” icon in the Settings.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select “Background apps.”
  
• You’ll see a list of apps that have permission to run in the background with an “On/Off” toggle.

Just bear in mind that, apps normally run in the background to update their live tiles, download new data, and receive notifications. If you want an app to continue performing these functions, you should allow it to continue running in
the background.

Feel free to update us with the results.

 

Films & TV App

Hi Justine,

thank you for helping me. I followed the steps that you outlined in your reply, but when I reached step 3 a small frame opened, however, I could not edit to remove the device. This was display only. The document appears to be saying you can only remove a
device by logging in to that device.

For your info I am running Windows 10 Pro in S mode. version 1803 OS build 17134.254.

In the support documents is says:-
