  1. Why does my desktop background change by itself?


    Hi everyone,


    Today, I discover that my desktop background picture changed by itself, and I am wondering if there is something wrong with my Windows system. Does anyone know how to check if my Windows 10 background settings is functioning properly? I need some help with it.

    :)
