Windows 11 24H2 background automatically switches to solid color

After upgrading to Windows 11 Version 24H2, the system desktop background frequently switches to solid colors (such as black or white) automatically. This issue is suspected to be related to installed third-party desktop or customization software, but the exact trigger remains unclear. Please provide troubleshooting steps and a solution.

    Temporarily close or disable all third-party desktop customization or theme software.

    Reboot and observe if the background switching persists.

    If the problem stops, re-enable software one by one to identify the cause.
