Windows 10: Windows desktop background settings being reset every reboot

I use the slideshow and fill option for my background. Works fine until i reboot, then it goes back to picture and tile. This is happening on 4 different computers. Driving me nuts. Any ideas?

Lost desktop background

I did a Search & Distroy spyware scan the other day, and one of the suggested "fixes" said something about removing Active Desktop. Like the muppet I am I clicked yes and am now without a desktop background picture.

Does anyone have an idea how to reverse this? If I try to select a picture it's simply not added as a background.
