To complete this: Right-click on the desktop and select the Personalization option. I expect somebody is chasing this same problem now and likely is about to find a solution. You can try to just switch to another topic this may help resolve the problem. That also has to be redone on every reboot. Besides a custom Theme I have changed the registry interval to 10000 microseconds to get a 10 second slideshow change. Whatever Theme I build will be saved as a choice but it never comes up correctly on any roboot. But using the user account I get the same problem. Now I am signing into the computer normally with my Windows Password, but have also gone into the PC with my user id that uses my Msft password and selected the same custom theme there just incase it was overriding my selection with some kind of "cloud" control. I needed to go somewhere and delete something that was overriding what should have been my successful choice of a custom theme. Last time is spent a week chasing my tail on this issue I approached it from the loss of the slideshow problem, but I recall the real problem was with the overlying theme. I clicked on the Fix It message and it solved the problem. There in the User Account Info there was a message saying there was a problem with my Microsoft Account and offered to fix it. I solved it by checking my Office Account (example using Outlook: File > Office Account). That should be easy right? However every time I power down the computer it reverts to a stock scheme with a stock background wallpaper and a stock Msft mouse pointer. 2 Answers Sorted by: 6 I had same problem. I am using a custom theme that uses a folder of pictures as a Wallpaper, a blue color and my chosen Windows Mouse pointer.

Solved this one last June but in the new build it has again reared its ugly head.Ī saved Theme will not "save." Yes I know we are not supposed to need a save button but something is overwriting my chosen Theme every time I power off the computer.

Just replaced amother bricked MoBo and am back fighting Msft issues again.
