Hey,

So I manage my wallpapers through display fusion (Pro) and have recently had a problem. I can no longer set my desktop background through display fusion OR through windows... I just have a black background. I checked a few things and tried deleting the transcoded wallpaper file in appdata but that did not help.

I am thinking of holding of and doing a fresh install when windows 10 comes out... but I would still like something more interesting than black till then so any help is appreciated

(I know this is probably a windows issue but as I manage my wallpaper through display fusion so I thought I would try my luck here)

You sir are a legend!

fixed it right away! Much appreciated, any idea what would have caused that issue? just a corruption in the registry?

if it helps in reproducing I do use 2 different remote desktop utilities and I believe this happened after I remoted into this computer from my laptop using Team viewer....

there is a setting that disables wall papers so less data has to be transmitted speeding up the link and after that session the screens never went back from being black...

any way thanks again!!!

Just had the same issue occur again but this time I hadn't done any remote desktop connections.....

The same fix resolved the situation, but if it happens again is there any way I can help get more info on the cause to figure out the problem permanently ?

Well let me try sysinternals and run through the remote desktop apps I use and see if I can re produce it
