Windows 10: Windows 10 Not Allowing Centered Picture in Background

The first time I set a centered picture as part of my Windows 10 desktop background I followed instructions and it went perfectly. Today I tried to change the centered picture, and Windows keeps making it the entire background. I can't find anything to click on to make it reduce the picture to just a centered picture in the background. When I switch back to the old one it's fine. Just a centered picture on a solid gray background. I haven't been able to find anything to help me make the new picture just part of the background...not the whole thing. Would appreciate some help! Thanks so

:)

 

Changing the background in Windows 10 from picture foders created on the hard drive?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in response



I would suggest you to try the following steps:

• 
  Open Desktop Background by right clicking on the desktop clicking Personalization
  
• 
  Click the picture or color that you want to use for your desktop background.
  
• 
  If the picture you want to use isn't in the list of desktop background pictures, click an item in the Picture location list to see other categories, or click Browse to search for the picture on your computer.
  When you find the picture that you want, double-click it. It will become your desktop background.
  

Hope this helps.
