    Windows 10 random wallpaper changes is a permanent issue in Windows 10


    I made the mistake of adopting Windows 10 and since it came out I have had nothing but problems. At times it is so bad that my PC is unusable and I have to resort to my iPad which does not have the same inherently unstable characteristics as W 10.


    I have tried every suggested fix in the Commuity and none of them work.


    I have also tried online support as I have an account with Microsoft and have done so for a number of years but all that happens is the the Tech fixes the problems (they are too numerous to list) and they reappear or a new problem appears such as random changes to wallpaper.


    I have two questions for Microsoft:


    1. Can someone at a senior level in Microsoft sort this issue out? I do not mean a temporary fix which leads to yet more Windows 10 problems. I would kindly ask that nobody wast our time by suggesting any of the 'fixes' on these pages as none of them work.


    2. If I scrap my PC and move to Apple, how long do I have to move all my data from Microsoft could etc to a new platform?


    I have been a loyal customer of Microsoft products since day one, I even used to used cammonad line programming/GWBasic for those of us old to remember, but I feel very strongly that I have been betrayed and abused by MIcrosoft with all these issues that Microsoft is not interested in solving.


    Lastly does the current Chief Executive Officer at MIcrosoft, Satya Nadella, know about all these issues? I suspect aht he does not.

    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 )
    Windows edition: Home
    Activation status: Digital license linked to my MS Account

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 random automatic repair after changing boot priority.

    Hello. So i have an Windows 10 Pro. Sometimes when i am changing in bios boot order from USB to HDD ( SDD ) windows starts booting with AUTOMATIC REPAIR and then restarting. Is this something with BIOS \ Windows 10 bug related? Tested on pc and on laptop , and sometimes it doing the same.


    Situation on PC first,listen:

    Few days ago after i change boot in UEFI BIOS from USB to SSD.
    Then Windows 10 showed at 1 boot Automatic Repair.
    When starting Windows 10 boot loader starts by "preparing automatic repair" and diagnosing pc.
    Interesting is that if I restart Windows (after procedure mentioned earlier) it will boot normally. This startup problem was occured only when starting system again after shutdown or restarted pc from windows.So i was needed 2 boots to boot properly to windows.
    But on pc, format was needed to remove completely issue and after format is fine.

    Pc :
    2x8gb Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz DDR3
    SSD samsung Evo 250 gb
    4790k stock
    Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 with UEFI BIOS


    Now laptop with old standard bios:
    On laptop i made the same operation, change boot from USB to HDD and on first boot Windows 10 shows Automatic Repair. But it happened once and i cant reproduce. No format was needed.

    laptop is very old with 2gb ram

    Why on pc format was needed when on laptop not?



    Thanks for suggestions.
