Update settings modification
After a recent Windows 11 update, my desktop background and theme colors were unexpectedly altered - causing some frustration. Furthermore, I've encountered an error upon startup, manifested as a popup message stating "Failed to create shell notification". The desktop photo, depicting an adorable tiger cub, while nice, was not my intended choice.
