The log shows it's loading this file after the driver crashes: Display #0:G:\GDrive\Social\Image\Nature\IBERIAN LANDSCAPES\caballos.jpg

But that is not the image it is displaying on the desktop.

None of the images of that folder are *that* image.

It can't find the correct monitor ID's after the crash though so that may be incorrect. As for the "Open image in file explorer", if you have a lot of images in the folder, the call can time out before it loads all the images, which is likely why it's highlighting the incorrect image. It's a Windows call so we don't have much control over it unfortunately.

No, I always search the whole folder manually and *that* image is never in the opened folder.

It's baffling but I mean... that image on the desktop is not appearing out of thin air... something is reading *that* image file out of somewhere. ]]> RE: Weird Wallpaper behavior https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/weird-wallpaper-behavior/?ID=019864f3-8dfd-743a-9d01-2dcb92bb0973#6 Tue, 19 Aug 2025 14:47:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/weird-wallpaper-behavior/?ID=019864f3-8dfd-743a-9d01-2dcb92bb0973#6 DisplayFusion The log shows it's loading this file after the driver crashes: Display #0:G:\GDrive\Social\Image\Nature\IBERIAN LANDSCAPES\caballos.jpg -

If you restart DisplayFusion does that fix it up? ]]> RE: Weird Wallpaper behavior https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/weird-wallpaper-behavior/?ID=019864f3-8dfd-743a-9d01-2dcb92bb0973#3 Mon, 11 Aug 2025 20:43:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/weird-wallpaper-behavior/?ID=019864f3-8dfd-743a-9d01-2dcb92bb0973#3 DisplayFusion It happens when the display driver crashes.

From time to time it keeps repeatedly displaying this wallpaper in my system:

I click 'Open Wallpaper Image in File Explorer' to delete it and it opens this:

which, of course, it is NOT the correct file, at all. That image it is displaying as wallpaper does not even exist in that folder is opening.

And when I open the Wallpaper settings it displays a totally different image than the real one displayed on the desktop... 🤦

What the hell is going on? ]]>
