Yesterday my Win 10 laptop wanted to restart to install updates.

That's all done, but the wallpaper has changed. Looked around to see how to put it back, and got as far as 'Control Panel' > 'Appearance and Personalisation' but then a dead end. Google says I should then see 'Background' but it's not there. Also, I can't find where in Windows the original jpg was to set it as wallpaper that way.

It should not be this hard....

Right-click on the desktop wallpaper and select personalise.

Ah yes thank you. How very unintuitive.

That gives me five pictures to choose from, none of which are the old one.

Ah hang on, there it is under 'lock screen'...

Now I realise the lock screen is what you see before you enter your PIN, and the background aka wallpaper afterwards. Maybe it was like that all the time and I never noticed? Hmm.
