Windows 7 Background 1 day changer not working

[Kaiser]

Hi all,

I have one small but annoying issue. It's about the backround or wallpaper changer. When it was set to change every 1 hour, it worked well. But when I set it to change every 1 day, it just doesn't change at all and I'm seeing the same picture for couple of days now.
Of course, I have made sure that there's more than 1 image to choose from and all of them are selected.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with Service Pack 1.

Any help?

It seems like you're experiencing an issue with the wallpaper changer settings on your Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit system. If the wallpaper is not changing as expected when set to change every 1 day, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Check the Power Plan Settings:
   • Sometimes, power setting configurations can interfere with the wallpaper changer. Make sure that the power plan is not set to a power-saving mode that might prevent wallpaper changes.
   []Reset Wallpaper Settings:
   • Temporarily switch the wallpaper changer back to every 1 hour, apply the settings, and then switch it back to every 1 day. This might reset any potential glitches in the wallpaper changer.
   []Verify Image Selection:
   • Double-check that the images you've selected are accessible and not corrupted. Try selecting a new set of images to see if the issue persists.
   []Permissions and Restrictions:
   • Ensure that the images you are trying to use as wallpapers are not restricted in any way, such as being located in a system-protected folder.
   []Third-Party Software Conflict:
   • If you have any third-party software installed that might be affecting desktop background changes, try temporarily disabling or uninstalling it to see if the issue resolves.
2. System Refresh:
   • Consider restarting the Windows Explorer process or restarting your system to refresh all desktop settings.

     Additional Suggestions:​

     • Update Windows: Ensure that your Windows 7 system is up to date with the latest updates and patches.
     • Check Event Viewer: Look for any related error messages in the Windows Event Viewer that might provide more insight into the issue.
