Windows wallpaper changes without user intervention

by rabbit_runner . Updated 4 years, 9 months ago

I have a Lenovo laptop that came with Window 10 Pro. I’ve joined the insiders program and recently installed Windows 11. My problem is that the background picture will change without any user intervention. It always changes to the same picture. If I modify the background picture to something else, the next day about mid morning (10:30 – 11:00), the background will again change to what it was before.

The laptop sits on a shelf in my office with no apps running, and with no user touching the keyboard or mouse. It is plugged in to an outlet, and all power settings are set to not blank the screen. I can view the screen on the shelf, and it will suddenly change. I’ve attempted to modify the picture multiple times, but it “always” reverts back to one that I do not want.

This problem has been going on for several weeks. I’ve been monitoring the laptop screen for over a month, and I cannot find any reason which would cause this to happen.

As an added note, this problem happened even before I upgraded to Windows 11.

This problem doesn’t affect anything on the laptop, but it’s very annoying.

Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, what was the solution?
