After OS sleep, need to restart explorer to make switching effective #601

like https://github.com/t1m0thyj/WinDynamicDesktop/issues/344

WDD Version: 5.5.0 on WoA
OS Version: windows 11 24h2 (RP channel)

Steps to Reproduce:

OS sleep during switch time
resume from sleep
The switched wallpaper appears in Win+tab thumbnail but not on actual desktop.

Are you using the Microsoft Store version of WDD?: Yes

I believe it' s more of a Win bug (and reported to MS via feedback already), just wondering if there can be any workaround here?

Clicking on "Show desktop icons" would also make it switch the wallpaper properly.

t1m0thyj commented 3 months ago

@xgdgsc If you select "Refresh Wallpaper" in the WinDD system tray menu, does this also work to switch the wallpaper properly?

xgdgsc commented 3 months ago

No. That doesn' t work.

I updated to 24H2 yesterday and I just want to add that on my system this bug extends to any reboot as well. The only fix is the icons on/off trick, and only until the machine wakes up or is restarted. After that, the wallpaper will get stuck again. This is on the latest version of WDD (5.6.0) downloaded here and 24H2 (26100.1882).

I also updated to 24H2 and the wallpaper has stopped updating entirely unless using the above icon trick or restarting explorer. The "refresh wallpaper" tray action does not work. It seems 24H2 has broke something.
