Windows 10, where is my trusted "Choose your desktop background"

Hi, just a short blog post about a little annoyance I have with Windows 10. After upgrading to Windows 10 my desktop slideshow setting kept functioning as before. But today, for the first time since upgrading, I wanted to add an other image to my selection. This is when I noticed that the old "Choose your desktop background" was no longer available in the Personalization Control Panel Item. After some googling I found that the, for me, easiest solution was executing the following command (Win + R): "control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper". You can store it as bat file or create a new shortcut on your desktop. The advantage when you create the shortcut is that you get the nice icon for free ;-) After clicking the shortcut you get the old "Choose your desktop background" back.


By the way, this was the background I wanted to add, Sunset on Mars by Mushstone
