Problem with Bing Wallpaper app
It keeps changing my Fit setting to "Span" and always looks terrible on my displays. I'd like to set my own preference, but it keeps changing it back. Is there any way to prevent this happening?

Hello everyone and caresrg , I also have the same problem. But after around 1 year I found a solution. Please follow the link from " OPTION TWO"
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/91437-specify-default-desktop-background-windows-10-a.html
In the " HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System "
You must add only "WallpaperStyle," which should be a string value.
NOTE: "Wallpaper" does not need to be added because Bing Wallpaper will change it all the time.
In "WallpaperStyle" you will need to add a number from the table (what you want) my number is "0":
After that "SING OUT" and " SING IN " and everything starts to work perfectly.
I am definitely having this problem! Every day, it selects fill as the default setting, and then I have to go in and change it to fit. It is annoying how it changes the default setting. I'd almost rather delete this than go in every single time to change this one setting. Please fix this! caresrg
I have this same problem and it is now December 2023, over three years since your original post. It doesn't seem to be a high priority for the development team. A shame since I really like the wallpapers, but re-setting the 'Fit' personalization attribute every day is a pain.
- It's been fixed for me with the latest Bing wallpaper app. For a long time now. I'm running the latest wide-release Windows 11.
caresrg That's good to know. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm on Win 11 and have been getting all the updates. I just re-installed the Bing Wallpaper app, so will see if it's fixed when the wallpaper rolls over. Merry Christmas

Alyxe Upon testing again, 2nd DisplayPort and 3rd DVI or VGA monitor still doesn't keep the stretch or fill setting when a new daily wallpaper appears. Half of Microsoft Bing is cutoff at bottom right of screens. On main monitor HDMI, it stays visible. Thanks for your interest in solving this bug. Pete
