Windows 10: Windows 10 Background Not Changing

A few days ago, I decided to change my desktop background. When I selected the image I wanted and hit ok, it switched the background to solid color with black selected. I have no 3rd party wallpaper software installed. What's happening here, and how can I fix it?
