%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\ Open File Explorer and paste the following in the address bar. If this file is corrupt, Windows will not be able to display your wallpaper. The black desktop background can also be caused by a corrupt TranscodedWallpaper. In Windows 10, you can change your wallpaper in the Settings app under Personalization>Background. It also might be worth giving different pics at least one more each time around so there’s no chance something went wrong with corrupting everything beforehand (especially since some people seem prone to errors).

But instead of setting one image consistently on every screen like before, go with a slideshow! If this solves things then after a while change into just regular pictures again rather than having them all set up as slideshows too because who knows what happened when trying out new stuff during our last update? I’ve heard that if an app is the cause for your wallpaper problem, you can try disabling it and changing back to static images. An example would be, if you installed the Windows 10 Photos App, you may need to reinstall it. It will simply prevent it from happening again once you do fix it. Uninstalling the app won’t fix the problem. At the very least, disable it so that it is no longer controlling your display settings. If you installed a third-party app to modify your desktop or UI and the problem started right after, uninstall the app. But, you’ll want to fix this ASAP so don’t worry too much – just make sure not to use any modifications after fixing (or disabling) them at least until you know what caused our issue in the first place here. Well, it could be because of a pesky third-party app you installed to customize something about how UI looks like.

You might also be wondering why the heck your computer is suddenly showing all these white icons and other things on its desktop. You’re probably experiencing a black desktop background if you have your display settings changed through an app on another platform. It’s easy to change and you can set the image yourself using one you’ve added to your desktop via shortcut, or choose from one of many pre-installed options like landscapes and cityscapes as well as other unique designs!ĭon’t let this happen: if your screen starts displaying only black when trying to customize wallpapers – it could mean there was an issue with the installation which usually isn’t caused by anything else aside from third-party applications changing settings on their own accord (though sometimes things do go wrong). The desktop wallpaper is a standard feature in any desktop.
