Windows 10: windows+tab cause desktop background bug

Greetings,


I am currently using windows insider 19008 verison of win10 and I found my wallpaper is glitching when i enter the task view (win + tab).

I am not sure what is causing this, it is not serious but really annoying , sometimes even my task bar is shrinking in half width.


Any idea of how to fix this ?


Thanks in advance.

Cheers

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.

 

Lost desktop background

The thing is I have no spyware; I've done scans with different pieces of software and they all confirm this. The active desktop bit that was removed by Search & Destroy is, I think, a pure Windows thing and I've seen it being listed in Search & Destroy scans on both this and other PCs before.

The thing is that this time I was trying to be clever and pressed "delete" whereas before I just ignored it. I've undone the Active Desktop removal in Search & Destroy and also followed your tips above but it makes no difference - still no desktop background. Any other ideas or do I just wait until the next reformat?
