Hello everybody,

 

I made a system restore and now I have problem.

When I try to change wallpaper or lock screen by opening picture I want to have and trying setting it as wallpaper,I got error ''Try a different photo''.

I could change it with no problems before I made system restore,but I got that error with every photo I got.

I CAN change wallpaper when I'm on internet by opening image and right clicking it and setting it as wallpaper.

However problem occurs after I download picture and then trying to set it as wallpaper.

I have Windows 10 Professional 64bit

open up command prompt in Admin mode and run the following

 

sfc /scannow

 

Then reboot your PC and try again.
