Windows 10: Wallpaper disappears after switching to another virtual desktop

My wallpaper is set to slideshow via personalization, and I've multiple virtual desktops. After rebooting and switching to another virtual desktop, the wallpaper would display a black screen across all desktops. Clicking the default theme again fixes the issue. Windows 11 Pro, 22631.2861. I've tried to turn off all sync on OneDrive.

Virtual desktop switch

Ctrl + *Start + D adds a 'Virtual Desktop'
Ctrl + *Start + F4 deletes a desktop
Ctrl + *Start + forward or back arrows switches desktops.

 

Virtual desktop switch


win+tab opens virtual desktop switch ... but by repeated press it again disappears instead of continuing to next desktop :/

do you know how to advance to next desktop ? by keyboard not by pointing cursor over 2nd desktop ???
(win+tab+1 .... did not worked)


alt+tab - switch dialogue between desktop apps or between all apps (is not the solution)

any other shortcuts ? in this department ?

thx

 

Desktop wallpaper for new users

Hi Alaa,

Setting default users lets you specify the wallpaper on user's desktops and prevents other users from changing the image or its presentation. You can check these steps on how to set wallpapers from all users:

• Type run on the search bar and press Enter.
• On the window, type gpedit.msc and click OK.
• Locate and click Administrative Templates.
• Select Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper.
• Tick Enabled, and name your wallpaper.
• Select Apply and click OK.

After performing the steps above, you may restart your PC.

Let us know the outcome. We will be glad to assist you.
