    Where are my wallpapers stored at on my Microsoft Account?


    I know this seems like a weird/vague question, but here is the scenario.

    When I make a brand new PC or VM and I log into windows for the first time using my Microsoft credentials my desktop background wallpaper theme auto shows up.


    I have gone into: C:\Users\Chuck\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\RoamedThemeFiles\DesktopBackground

    and I have removed the photos I don't want to see but as soon as I reboot the PC those photos come back.


    So between that and every time, I log into my MS account on a new Windows install the theme auto-populating I know it is being stored somewhere on the cloud and being auto-added to the system.

    Does anyone know where I can add/remove photos so certain ones stop showing up and new ones will in their place?


    Thank you!

    :)

    Thank you for the advice

    I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

    Yes. When you sign in to the Store with a Microsoft account like in step 5 in Option Two of the tutorial below instead of switching to a Microsoft account you will and stay a local account.
