Describe the bug I use a game mode tasker which closes programs like Onedrive, Rainmeter, Lively, and more when a game is running to save performance. It then starts them up again once the game is closed.

Whenever it is started again. I provides this message: image The offending setting is set as Lively requests and no number of apply or unticking and reticking fixes the issue. I notice no issues with Lively other than this one:

Upon Lively launching, be it from startup or from the game mode tasker, one, sometimes both of the displays has no live wallpaper displayed or set in the settings. I have to select each display and set the wallpaper again as if it is the first time setting it up.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Set up Lively
  2. Close with taskkill /f /im "CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe" or taskkill /f /im "livelywpf.exe" (appears to make no difference which
  3. Launch it via start menu
  4. See error, one or more monitors has no wallpaper set.

Sorry, I do not have the time nor interest to develop and maintain support for third party unconventional scripts/optimizer apps that interfere with Lively's working.
