Hi Adam,

Thanks for reviewing my issues.  Here are answers to your questions.

• Are any of the images Animated, or are they all Static?

All the images are static png files.

• For each Playlist's "Settings" tab in DeskScapes, can you tell me what exact options you have selected? If you change them (such as the "Changing speed" setting), does that effect the issues for you?

For each of the three playlists, I have not checked "Sequentially change through backgrounds" or "Automatically change when video ends".  Each of the three playlists has a different "Changing speed" time, 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 minutes.  I just changed the settings on all three to 5 minutes to see if that changes any behavior.

• Are these things you can reproduce without going into Sleep mode?

Yes, sleep mode only creates the screen background "white-out", not any of the other symptoms.

• When you said: "The default background color is dark blue." where exactly did you set this? Does changing that effect the issues?  

That is set under Windows "Settings->Personalization->Background->Choose your background color"

• Do the issues occur all the time, or only sometimes?  On all monitors, or only some?  Does changing anything else you can think of in your settings make either of the problems stop reproducing?

All the problems occur all the time.  I can right click the background and select "Refresh",  which makes the desktop icons disappear on the monitors which they don't properly exist.  But soon after they reappear.   The problem with the desktop icons happens on all three monitors.  On the monitor that actually has most of the desktop icons, running the mouse cursor over those icons creates a graphics mess (icons stacked on top of icons).  The screen background turning solid white after waking from sleep mode also happens on all three monitors.  So far I haven't found any settings that stop the problems from occuring.

Thank-you!

Thank-you for the reply.  I followed the instructions for a clean boot and rebooted.  Of course, the desktop had no issues at this point (desktop icons behaved as they should). The backgrounds on the three monitors display the pictures that Deskscapes had last displayed.  Naturally, they were static (didn't cycle through).  Then ran the restart Deskscapes script.

Unfortunately, I still have the same problems as before.  The desktop icons from monitor 3 appeared on all three monitors until running "refresh".  Later they reappeared.

On a positive note, many services that I was running at startup won't be re-enabled

Best Regards.

I haven't found any solution for Deskscapes 11.  I am using Start 11 and that works with Win 11 24H2.
