How to stop Windows from converting applied PNG wallpapers to JPG

[Kiyuubi]

Most of my wallpapers are in PNG and when I go to apply them I always noticed they seemed to artifact.  I searched this and it appears Windows converts anything that isn't JPG to JPG..which results in quality loss.

 

I have looked everywhere and cannot seem to find a way to fix this.  So, does anyone here have any way to combat this?  It is extremely annoying.

I really hope they stop this in Windows 9.

I didn't know that Windows did this. Well that just goes to show,

as the saying goes, that "you learn something new everyday".

I converted some to JPGs in GIMP (highest quality it let me), and it still had artifacts. I suppose I'll give that program a try.
