    OK my angry little friend, I've got something for you to try.

    Delete this file:

    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper.jpg

    I did this, went back to personalization and picked a wallpaper, and BANG! it worked.

    It looks like this file is where windows stores the current background. If you change the background, this file changes. I think the permissions on that file got messed up, stopping Windows from reading/updating it.

    It's amazing what you can achieve when you keep a level head
