    Windows Desktop Background Is Freezing Other Programs While it Changes


    Hi All,


    I am running Windows 10 On A Dell Precision 7530 With a Intel Xeon E-2186 and a NVidia P3200 Quadro Video Card. it is a laptop. I am having an issue where the changing windows background is freezing my mouse from moving or it moves very slowly until the background has changed. This takes 3-8 seconds to complete each time the background changes.


    Is there a way to make the background run so it does not interrupt my mouse while using other programs? Could it use less priority to load and change each photo? I am running the latest driver set for the computer.


    Regards,

    Dean

    :)
