How to hide the desktop background image in Windows 10
Many people are unaware that Windows 10 offers the option to hide the desktop background image. But it does. Here are the steps to hide it:
- Click on the Start button in the bottom-left corner
- Next, click on the gear icon to access the Settings menu
- In the Settings menu, choose Ease of Access
- Scroll down, and you will find the option “Show desktop background image.”
- By default, this option is turned on.
- The switch below the option is a blue color
- Click on the switch to enable the option and hide the desktop background image.
As soon as you do this, the background image on the screen will become black. If you have been using wallpaper, it will be replaced with a completely black screen.
If you don’t like how this looks, enable the option again, and your wallpaper will return to the screen.
