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


    Hi!

    I have a laptop and every time I change my wallpaper, it reverts back to "Center" Option in Personalize menu. My laptop's screen resolution is 3840*2160, but regardless of the dimension of the wallpaper, if I put a wallpaper of 10000*5625 (which is a 16*9 ratio indeed), it returns back to a small pic in the middle of the screen as I restart. This time if I change the setting to "Fill" or "Fit", It's OK till the next change of wallpaper.

    What is the problem?


    ***Original title: My wallpapers revert back to "Center" every time I change it.***

    :)

  2. sync / wallpaper change

    Hi,

    Your current system may have downloaded an update that caused your wallpaper to revert to the previous one.

    Regarding your files, they will not automatically sync if you haven't set your account with OneDrive on your computer.

    We suggest that you change your wallpaper, then restart your computer. This will help us to further identify if there's an issue with your system.

    Regards.

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

    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.
