Can not automatically change the wallpaper on Windows11 beta
- WDD Version:5.0.1
- OS Version:22581.200
Main Problem: The app sometime can not change the wallpaper, it need refresh it manually. But sometimes it works fine. I don't know why.
Another problem: seems that the script which used to change the Windows system theme doesn't work anymore. So how can let the windows theme automatically change into dark mode after sunset, and change back to light mode after sunrise?
Are you using the Microsoft Store version of WDD?: No
Same on WDD 5.0.1 (Store Version) and Windows 22000.593. 5.0.0 (Store Version) works fine on the same Windows Version.
Are you using WDD to show different wallpapers on multiple monitors or just one across all of them? And do you have the "Change Lockscreen Image" setting enabled?

Speaking for myself, I use the same wallpaper on every monitor. "Change lockscreen Image" is disabled.

Yes, I have two monitors, and both of them use the same wallpaper, The "Change Lockscreen Image" is enabled.
I have the same issue. Both WDD 5.0.0 (Store version) and WDD 5.0.1 (Store version) sometimes fails to switch the wallpaper even in the stable W11 build (22000.593), the only way(s) to refresh them is either by restarting WDD or by manually refreshing the wallpaper. The issue occurs regardless of "Change Lockscreen Image" setting (I've tested both). I use the same wallpaper on every monitor.
I also have the same problem on windows 11 bulid 22000.593 with the WDD V5.0.0 &.1. But the WDD V4.7.0 dosen't have this issue. The WWD V5 can change the lockscreen but the V4 can't. I hope this bug can be fixed quickly.
I'm also unable to change all 3 desktop wallpapers at once via latest Store version. I'm on a brand new clean install of a Win11 22H2 22621.169 (Release Preview) full up to date.
I'm attaching a short list of operations performed by Windows System Settings (recorded using a small reliable tool from Microsoft: Sysinternals Process Monitor), when applying a wallpaper to all desktops. It should be necessary for WinDynamicDesktop to perform the same operation calls. To find the relevant calls i recommend using the highlight to highlight Paths containing the word jpg, and later Details containing jpg. Not at the same time, the tool performs an AND, not OR. Thanks.

OS Version:22621.232 Same problem. It seems that it can only change wallpaper on one virtual monitor unless by pressing 'Refresh Wallpaper' manually.
Been using v5.1.0 for about a day, the problem seems finally fixed for me!
