I have it ALMOST working. By reducing the resolution of the 2 PG43U monitors, I was able to get dreams/vids to work. I STILL have to go kill the two working Deskscapes Config processes in the task manager to apply a background but now it does it right. Scaling made little difference until after the resolution was reduced. So now it is just a matter of finding out where the break that forces me to kill processes in the TM is happening. I do not like running reduced resolution s

The Works only applies to wallpapers. When I do the same with video or animated desktops, it applies the change to a the top 1/5th of the monitor and is distorted. Is it normal to have 3 config processes (perhaps one per monitor) when applying a background? This is really disheartening. Is there somewhere I can download previous versions and test? FYI, I think it is these PG43U monitors.

So I went and installed the Microsoft Store HVEC, AV1, and VP9 extensions. No joy. Then I decided to end the multiple instances of Deskscapes config that did NOT show Not Responding in the task manager. This caused Deskscapes to work. So now the question is why the 3 configs running and killing two makes the whole thing work?

Turned off SLI and no joy. Also, is the Deskscapes 11 app supposed to be running? I open DS from OD and itr always goes to the config. However, I noticed if I run the DS11 app, it shows that it sees my original windows background as applied even though the screens are blck from Deskscapes changing something when it hangs. Just more little details to my saga.

Using all 3 options trying with both pictures and dreams black background and spin. Force quit leaves background black.

I have used Stardock for years throughout all of it's software evolutions. About a year ago I did a fresh install of Windows 10 and installed DS10. No matter whether it is new downloads or old stored dreams using videos, Dreams, or Windows Backgrounds, when I tell it to apply the background, The background turns black and DS just sits and spins. I can generally kill it via the Task Manager. I have now purged it, upgraded to Win 11 and DS 11, and STILL have the same problem. DS is one
