    Wallpapers changing on their own and other fun wallpaper glitches


    My wallpapers like to change on their own. Always happens after I leave my PC on sleep mode for 5 or more minutes. Sometimes it will be a random image in my gallery that I opened recently, other times it will be the same image on my 1st monitor I have a dual monitor set up btw. Both are supposed to have different wallpapers.. If I'm really unlucky, the wallpaper on my 2nd monitor will change to match my first monitor's wallpaper BUT with a weird zoom in. If I click personalize and try to change the pic back, it will claim it's using a solid color background instead of an actual picture

    :)

    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Do your desktop monitors have the same specifications?

    Regards.
