Windows 10: Why did my wallpaper change after updating Windows?

I opened my laptop after updating Windows, thinking, "Ah, jolly me, I hope to see my beautiful, good old wallpaper," only to make a surprising discovery! Dear heavens, it was changed! And what’s this? Some weird icon in the top-right corner of my desktop.I immediately went into the settings and discovered that some vile goblins have introduced yet another new, bogus feature, and as always, set it as a default option for every user.

Windows 10 update changed my wallpaper

So I just updated windows 10 computer, it was a big update, I think it was called creators or something, and it restarted a few times

It changed my wallpaper which I hadn't saved. Now, my wallpaper was a flat colour, so it sounds like I am complaining over nothing, but I was used to the color. But seriously though, why did an update change it? Also it made my cmd look weird, changed the
font or made it bigger. Did this happen to anyone else? Also, is there any way to recover my wallpaper without suggesting system restore since I don't have that enabled? I remember good old windows 7 stored my wallpapers

 

Win-10 themes keep changing

Hi,

Thank you for providing the information.

• Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?

As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

• Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
• Select Theme and select the Default theme.
• Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
  and save it and check.

Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
