Windows 10: Windows 10 Keeps changing my desktop Background Wallpaper

I am starting to Hate Windows 10 everyday. Did I say hate their are stronger words, nasty words, unchristian words.!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever since the last update to Creator Windows I think my computer is possessed. Poltergeist.

I do a lot of file explorer operations. Every time I start working with file explorer for an extended period of time my desktop background image (wallpaper) changes from a travel image from Google Explorer to a Slideshow image.

I thought I had resolved the problem. It worked for a while and then two days ago it reverted back to a slide show image. I really would like to to go to services.msc and permanently disable Slide Show from even happening.

THE STEPS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ARE AS FOLLOWS!!!!!!!!

Settings>System>Power & Sleep> Additional power settings> Power Saver> Change plan settings>Change advanced power settings>Power Options>Desktop background settings>Slide Show> On Battery and Plugged in>

At some point there used to be a disable option for On Battery and Plugged in. Now I have set both of them to Paused.
Then of course I have to shutdown and reboot to make changes . But it works for a while then my computer or Microsoft Devils changes it back to a slide show. I DO NOT WANT SLIDE SHOW EVER.

Of course If I have Windows Pro I could make a Local Group Policy change. But that option is not available to me.I do not have unlimited funds. But Windows is about ready to turn me into an Apple Mac Pro or Linux user. I am sick and tired of Microsoft taking over my computer. I paid the price for my computer not microsoft.

Would a clean install resolve this problem. I have so many programs the thought of re-install those programs is enough to insure I HAVE A THIRD HEART ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I have ran a recent Windows Defender Scan of my computer and it is not showing a virus. So at this point I am ready to jump off of a cliff

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.

 

Wallpaper setup in Windows 10

Hello everyone,

laugh all you want, but I have an issue with Windows 10 and setting up wallpapers. Right click-> background doesn't help. I want the old school screen I have seen in Windows 8. I want to set up a dual monitor wallpaper. This command used to take me to the right place :

control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper , but now it doesn't. What could be the problem here ?

The wallpaper page is no longer available from Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Personlization > Desktop background like in Windows 8. Why did they change this is beyond my understanding. Anyone with an idea is more than welcomed.

Windows version is : 1703 ( OS build 15063.483 )
