Any recommendations for a good live wallpaper app for Windows?

So I want to use a live wallpaper but I'm not really sure what app to use. I downloaded one from Desktop Hut but neither Windows Defender nor Avast were happy about it. Defender just said it was unrecognized and Avast said it was trying to connect to a blacklisted address. It seems like this is the type of software ripe for infecting with viruses and adware. I did try downloading one from Chan Software or something from Microsoft's store but it won't even launch after downloading. Sigh. I just don't feel like sifting through these so instead, I figured I would just ask what people here use. Any suggestions?

 

Also, what do you recommend as a good site to download them from? I see there are quite a few but again, I'm looking for something safe and reliable. Desktop Hut has some nice anime ones but I'm a little hesitant to use them after the software issue.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Wallpaper Engine on Steam. It's $5 CAD, but I've never had any major technical issues, and the library of live wallpapers is huge. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)
