    Color is overriding chosen background picture


    Greetings,

    Before I updated to Ultimate from Starter, I had disabled the background image prefering the default black, but since recently upgrading, I wished to use the themes.

    When going to the preferences, windows does confirm my chosen background picture to be the one currently used.. but the set color obviously overrides it. I tried rebooting, no such luck.

    Any clues on how I could disable the color to allow the viewing of the background picture of my choosing ?

    Thank you

    Hello Symphony, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    It sounds like you may need to uncheck the Remove background images (where available) box in the Ease of Access Center as in the tutorial below to allow having wallpapers again.

    Remove Background Images (where available)

    Hope this helps,
