Recently I installed Windows 10, and updated to DisplayFusion 7.20 and decided to try Online Wallpaper Provider WallpaperFusion.
The images, however are not displaying, although Windows 10 is indicating that it is downloading an image.
I have my settings to:
Sot By Popularity
Com. Rating: Any rating
My Rating: Any rating
Monitors: Dual-Monitor images

I was wondering if there was a setting I needed to turn on or turn off with Windows 10 to properly display the desktop backgrounds?

I solved this issue by changing smartscreen settings. Default is blocking 'unknown apps downloaded from the internet'. I changed it to 'warn' instead of block. Now wallpapers load correctly. Search in the settings window for smart screen to find where to change the setting.

Ok running as Administrator did work and I feel REAL stupid that I did not try that in the first place!
Thank you!
Could you guys also check to see if the %USERPROFILE%\Pictures\DisplayFusion\Web Images folder exists? If it doesn't, could you try creating it, restart DisplayFusion not as admin, and then try setting the wallpaper again to see if that fixes it?

Checked the folder. It's OK. Still not loading pictures.
Then set DF to start with admin-rights. Then pictures load as they did under W8.
Also using W10 Pro.

My user-account is marked administrator. I went in security settings for the Web Images folder, deleted all files and then updated the security for the account HomeUser (go figure) to allow write access and lo and behold when manual commanding new wallpaper IT ACTALLY SHIFTED THE WALLPAPER.
I'm not sure if this is because of account problems in (my) Windows or what, but when I'm trying to delete some files that require adm-rights it always asks to delete with adm-rights even though my account is adm.
Yeah, seems that the Windows 10 upgrade messes up the permissions on some folders for some reason. @Robert: If you add your own account with read/write permissions, does that fix it up?

Yes! At first I got denied warnings, then remembered to delete the current file first, then I was able to get write permission to work. Turned off 'run as admin' and now its loading on startup and changing wallpaper properly. Thanks
Excellent, glad to hear it!
