How to change the desktop background.

I have Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge. When I turn on my laptop my screen is a full scenic photo that asks if I like it or not.  Then I sign in and my regular screen comes up with my chosen photo for that.  How do I get a permanent scene on the screen upon opening and turning on?  

Thank you, SenecaGal52

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you would like to change the Desktop wallpaper.

Desktop wallpaper is a digital image used as a decorative background of a graphical user interface on the screen of a computer.

In order to change the desktop background, Select the Start  button, then select Settings > Personalization to choose a picture worthy of gracing your desktop background, and to change the accent color for Start, the taskbar, and other items. The preview window gives you a sneak peek of your changes as you make them.

Refer to the article for more information on How to change desktop background and colors.
