    Windows background issue


    I have reinstalled Windows 10 after experiencing an issue on file explorer, which has fixed the issue. After only using it for a day, the background just turned black and the windows activation watermark disappeared, and I am unable to change it no matter what used set as desktop background, used policy editor. I tried to do a reset without deleting files but it just said 'undoing changes' and made no difference.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 Task menu background transparency

    Hi,

    Thank you for your response.

    Apologize for delay in reply.

    As a workaround, I suggest you to change the desktop background/ remove the desktop background and check.

    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if it fixes the issue. Refer to the steps below to create a new User Account:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Choose Accounts and then select Other User Accounts towards the left.
    • Select Add an Account.
    • Enter a user name and hit Next.
    • Click on Finish.
    • Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    • Check if issue persists.

    Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

    Thanks.

    Windows background issue

    AMD FX OC'ers Club

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
