    The quick answer is to back up your data using Easy Transfer and do a clean install. I will leave it to the others to find a way to correct that specific problem.

    Open a command prompt as admin and run "sfc" to make sure nothing got corrupted during the upgrade.

    I run the command: "sfc /scannow"

    "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations"

    any idea?

    That is the same problem as me and I fixed it by going to search gpedit.msc then useraccounts, adminstrative templates, control pannel, personlation, if you see anything that is enabled then change it to not configuued.

    I hope this helps because it helped me.

    Ps there is another setting that can stop you from changing it called Desktop wallpaper,
