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.

  • Hello,

    Suggest you to run System File Checker scan:

    1. Search for 'command prompt' using Cortana or Windows Search.

    2. From results, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

    3. Type sfc /scannow command and press Enter key.

    4. Let the command complete and then reboot the machine.

    If that doesn't works, try these steps:

    1. Search for 'windows powershell' using Cortana or Windows Search.

    2. From results, choose Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.

    3. Then type/paste following and press Enter key:

    Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth

    4. Let the command complete, restart your system then.

    Let us know if this helps!
