7Turn off Desktop Background Image on Windows 10/11.
There could be many good reasons you may want to prevent users from changing the desktop background on Windows 10. Perhaps you work for a company that wants devices (or guest computers) only to display a custom wallpaper with a company logo. Or at home, if you share your computer with other people, you may want to see a particular desktop background, but someone keeps changing it.
Windows 10 offers a few ways to keep users from changing the desktop background on a computer, including using Group Policy and modifying the Registry.
Your desktop background (also called wallpaper) can be a picture from your personal collection or included with Windows, a solid color, or a slide show playing selected pictures randomly on all displays.
When you turn off (uncheck) show desktop background image, your desktop background will only show as solid black.
When you turn on (check) show desktop background image, then whatever you set for your desktop background will show again.
