    Windows 10 won't let change fit of desktop background


    I have one picture set as desktop background in JPG format and windows won't let me change the fit. I try stretch, tile, fit, fill and it doesn't move or change. I tried it with other wallpaper pictures and they change when I change the fit. But not this one. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

    :)
