The Windows line of Operating Systems has always been incredibly customizable, and the freshly baked Windows 10 is no different either. That being said, the humble desktop wallpaper is (and has always been) one of the most basic ways of desktop customization. But there might be certain environments (such as offices having exceedingly strict workplace policies) where even this little customization isn’t allowed. So why am I telling you all this?
That’s because Windows 10 actually lets you turn off the desktop background entirely. And once you do that, no image can be used as desktop background. Wanna know the details? Move over to the flip side of the break, to know how to disable desktop background in Windows 10.
How To Disable Desktop Background In Windows 10?
Turning off desktop background (or the desktop wallpaper) in Windows 10 is a walk in the park. Bunch of clicks here and there, and you’re all set. Anyhow, here goes a step by step illustrative tutorial, which should be more than enough to set things off to a smooth start:
