    Hello RMNZK, I had this issue too & found an easy fix.

Hello. Everyone mentions multiple desktops. I have only 1 desktop but cannot change my desktop wallpaper. No matter instructions I follow it keeps jumping back to the original one I set when I purchased the machin 2 years ago. To the best of my knowledge I never set this to lock. Any help would be appreciated.
