The next time this happens, could you try the steps listed in "Method 3" on this page to see if that makes any difference?

When it stops working, if you open the WallpaperX.png file that gets generated, does it look correct, or is it blank? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-now-just-shows-black-wallpaper/?ID=497ea497-7a00-434e-809c-dcd660f87b2b#6 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 16:35:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-now-just-shows-black-wallpaper/?ID=497ea497-7a00-434e-809c-dcd660f87b2b#6 DisplayFusion Yeah if its being forced to use a different wallpaper generation folder than the default. It's creating the wallpaper1.png files in the folder, however the screen just stays black. If I hit "next random image wallpaper" shortcut keys, I get the popup that says its looking for a random image. I can then see a new wallpaper2.png in the folder but nothing on the screen. The minute I change the wallpaper generation folder back to default it works fine. The odd thing is, is that if I then go back and immediately change it back to the target folder I want to use, it will work for several minutes/hours until it fails and I have to repeat the process again. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-now-just-shows-black-wallpaper/?ID=497ea497-7a00-434e-809c-dcd660f87b2b#5 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 16:30:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-now-just-shows-black-wallpaper/?ID=497ea497-7a00-434e-809c-dcd660f87b2b#5 DisplayFusion So it fails after a few hours every time still? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-now-just-shows-black-wallpaper/?ID=497ea497-7a00-434e-809c-dcd660f87b2b#4 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 19:40:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-now-just-shows-black-wallpaper/?ID=497ea497-7a00-434e-809c-dcd660f87b2b#4 DisplayFusion It was the alternate wallpaper generation folder setting that was causing the issue. For some reason it will fail loading wallpapers if the directory is not the default directory after some random amount of time. Changing it back to the default worked and it worked when I changed it back to my other directory for a few hours but eventually failed. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-now-just-shows-black-wallpaper/?ID=497ea497-7a00-434e-809c-dcd660f87b2b#3 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 19:36:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-now-just-shows-black-wallpaper/?ID=497ea497-7a00-434e-809c-dcd660f87b2b#3 DisplayFusion Uninstall DisplayFusion, run CCleaner if you have it, if not download it and run it - both the file cleaner then the registry cleaner. Reinstall DisplayFusion and see how you go from there. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-now-just-shows-black-wallpaper/?ID=497ea497-7a00-434e-809c-dcd660f87b2b#2 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 19:36:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-now-just-shows-black-wallpaper/?ID=497ea497-7a00-434e-809c-dcd660f87b2b#2 DisplayFusion Uninstall DisplayFusion, run CCleaner if you have it, if not download it and run it - both the file cleaner then the registry cleaner.

If I manually change the background to an image, it will reset to a black screen when display fusion goes to the next image. Any idea's? ]]>
