Hello! I understand your frustration with the desktop background not staying in the desired position. There could be a couple of potential reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Update Graphics Drivers: Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can sometimes cause issues with the desktop background settings. Try updating your graphics drivers to the latest version provided by your graphics card manufacturer.
2. Reset Desktop Background Settings: To reset the desktop background settings to default, follow these steps:
- Right-click on the desktop and select "Personalize" (Windows 7) or "Personalize" or "Display settings" (Windows 10).
- In the Personalization or Display settings window, click on "Desktop Background."
- Set the Picture Position to "Fill" and click on "Save Changes."
- Once saved, set the Picture Position to your preferred option (Center, Fit, etc.), and click on "Save Changes" again.
3. Disable Third-Party Software: Sometimes, third-party software or utilities can interfere with the desktop background settings. Try temporarily disabling any third-party software that may be running in the background and see if the issue persists.
4. Check for Malware: Malware infections can cause various issues on your computer, including altering system settings. Run a full scan with your antivirus software to check for any potential malware infections.
5. Create a New User Account: If the issue persists, try creating a new user account on your computer and see if the problem occurs there as well. If it doesn't, it could indicate that there is an issue specific to your user profile.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be helpful to reach out to the Windows support team or post in the Microsoft community forums for further assistance.

Hello
According to your helpful tips I created a new user account, there is no problem in changing the position of the background
But there is this problem with the previous account user ?
Hello again! If you created a new user account and the issue with the desktop background has been resolved in that account, but persists in your previous user account, it suggests that there might be a specific issue with that account's settings. Here are a few additional steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:Hello

But there is this problem with the previous account user ?
1. Restore Default User Profile Settings: In some cases, the user profile settings for your previous account may have become corrupted. You can try restoring the default settings for that account by following these steps:
- Log in to your previous user account.
- Open the Control Panel and navigate to User Accounts.
- Select "Manage User Accounts" or "User Accounts" (depending on your Windows version).
- Select your previous user account and click on "Properties" or "Change account type."
- On the "User Account Properties" or "Change account type" window, click on the "Delete" or "Delete Account" button. Note that deleting the account will remove all the data associated with it, so make sure to back up any important files beforehand.
- After deleting the account, restart your computer.
- Log in to your computer using your previous account's username and password. Windows will create a fresh user profile with default settings.
- Test if the issue with the desktop background persists in the new user profile.
2. System Restore: If the above solution doesn't work, you can try using the Windows System Restore feature to revert your computer's settings to a previous state before the issue occurred. Here's how to use System Restore:
- Open the Start menu and search for "System Restore."
- Click on the "Create a restore point" or "Create a system restore" result.
- In the System Properties window, click on the "System Restore" button.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to choose an earlier restore point that predates the issue with the desktop background. It's important to select a restore point that you trust and that will not disrupt other important settings or files.
- Start the restore process and wait for it to complete.
- Once the restore is finished, check if the issue with the desktop background has been resolved.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it would be best to reach out to the Windows support team or post in the Microsoft community forums for further assistance. They may have additional suggestions or be able to provide specific guidance based on the detailed nature of the issue.
