Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Wallpaper profile keeps being reset to (None)

Hi,

I'm running the latest Ultramon (3.4.1) on a Windows 10 pro
(Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64) Build 17134.407 (1803/RS4)) operating system

Using 2 monitors (2 monitors
Current desktop: 5760x2160 (-1920,0 - 3840,2160) Monitor 1 - U32H85x (primary): Settings: 3840x2160, 32-bit color, 60 Hz refresh rate Coordinates: 0,0 - 3840,2160. Workspace: 0,0 - 3840,2100 Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Device: \\.\DISPLAY2\Monitor0) Monitor 2 - DELL U2412M: Settings: 1920x1200, 32-bit color, 59 Hz refresh rate Coordinates: -1920,227 - 0,1427. Workspace: -1920,227 - 0,1387 Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Device: \\.\DISPLAY1\Monitor0

When my 1st monitor (the 4k one) goes in powersaving mode (means OFF in my case) on a DisplayPort cable, Ultramon loses the wallpaper profile settings, setting it to Zero, in stead of Default. UltraMonWallpaperChanger also stops cycling wallpapers.
I then have to manually set the profile back to "Default".

Do you have any Idea what is causing this behavior , and more importantly, do you know how to fix this ?

Thanks,
Paul

Most likely another application changes the wallpaper, to check what's set as the wallpaper run regedit.exe and take a look at the WallPaper value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.

If an UltraMon wallpaper is active this would be set to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\UltraMon Wallpaper.bmp.

This value reads as

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\umwp-wallpaper.bmp

I mentioned I had umwp running in the original post.

Don't know how the two interact, and what it should be with both running.

Thanks,
Paul

I just tested with Ultimate Monitor Wallpaper Autochanger 2.3.1, this is now a standalone tool and doesn't use UltraMon.

UltraMon will show (None) as the selected wallpaper profile if 'UltraMon Wallpaper.bmp' isn't the active wallpaper bitmap, which would always be the case when using UMWP 2.3.1.

Thanks Christian,

Good to have this sorted out. Didn't even notice the change to ULTIMATE in umwp :p

Thanks,
Paul
