Windows 10: WIN10 randomly makes a photo from somewhere the desktop background

I have been running WIN10 Home for a few years. Recently it has randomly put a photo as the desktop background. Sometimes it's there sometimes it isn't. It was only one photo for a few weeks but today a different photo came up. The first photo I was able to search the hard drive and found it, Then moved it to another folder location. But it still came up a couple of days later. I don't see anything in display settings that would make this happen. Any ideas. Ron

Hello! I'm , a user with experience in Microsoft products. I will help you with your problem!

There was recently an update that added this feature. You can deactivate by following the steps below:

1. Open System Settings (CTRL + I keys) > Select "Personalization" > "Background".

2. In Background, click on the Drop-down Menu and choose the "Image" option > Select the Windows image or your preferred image.

3. Restart your computer.

4. If this still doesn't solve the problem, download a photo of your choice (such as a landscape) > Right-click on the photo > Select "Set as desktop background" > Restart the computer.

Let me know if your issue is resolved after running the troubleshootings!

 

Windows 10 Desktop background photo not changing


Setup - two monitors. Nvidia Quatro graphic card

Desktop background problem
I have set Personalisation - Desktop Background - Slideshow - Set Location to a Photo folder to use Photos - Change every minute - Shuffle Off (tried On as well but makes no difference) - Fit set to Fit.

Problem is that the images never change, though they are different ones on the two monitors.

I have tried various permutations of the above without any success. Which folder of photos I use doesn't make any difference to the situation - same two photos displayed.

My wife's laptop which is setup in the same way seems to have a similar but not identical problem. hers changes but only selects from 4 photos despite more being available in the chosen folder.

Suggestions appreciated!
