DeskScapes Background Turns Off after 1 hour

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

  I just upgraded to 8.5, and I am using Windows 10 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card. When I set DeskScapes to what I want, after an hour it dis-gauges and reverts back to the original theme. I s there a setting that I need to check and/or change. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

Are you using a Microsoft login and do you have another computer using the same login?

I figured out my problem, got it to work. One of my software programs was interfering with it disconnecting.

What program interfered?  That would be useful information.

The program that I use for using two monitors " Display Fusion Pro" it has a set up  feature for it's wallpaper settings. I had it set for one hour. What ever I put on for my background after an hour it will revert to the settings that I had in "Display Fusion Pro". I disabled this feature and it is working great. Hope this helps.

Almost the same problem here. BG freezes within 10-15 minutes. Win10 and one pc using the login. Help me.

I found this to be an issue as well.  The fix for my computer was to enable all permissions for authenticated users for the drive my dreams were installed on. I did this under the user I was logged on.  Then I unchecked pause dream when windows are maximized (Single Monitors only) under the advanced tab.  Finally I installed sharky's advanced codecs.  This corrected the freezing problem for me.  It also ensured max compatibility for mpg, mpeg, avi and wmv formats.
