Theme won't stick when using multiple desktops
Is there any solution for desktop backgrounds constantly changing (by themselves) when switching between virtual desktops? This has been ongoing for a year now, and Win11 seems unable to remember and...
Following steps works for me:
- Close all virtual desktops (create a new one and close all others to make sure the remaining one has default configration)
- Delete these resistry keys:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VirtualDesktops\Desktops
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpapers
- Reboot
Unfortunately, not a fix. It resets it so you have the same issue, but to the new default settings (assuming you changed them). I can change the background, then as soon as I switch to another VD it reverts the settings to whatever they were when I performed the above steps.
