I'm on Windows 10 Pro and every time the computer is connected to the internet something changes my wallpaper. I've tried fiddling with every personalization setting, but nothing seems able to cause or stop this.

To be honest I don't even know what the cause is. Windows itself is the prime suspect of course. However, I've also got W10 Pro on a laptop (x64 though) and this never happened. In fact, I've never seen W10 changing wallpapers automatically except when told to do it. Even then, they would a) Part of a slideshow - which I turned off - and b) Be in the person's image collection. Seriously, the ghost wallpapers are often landscapes I've never seen and since my monitor is quite big, I can see they are low-res. I never use low-res images so I'm absolutely sure they aren't mine.

The second suspect would be some other software, but again, I'm pretty sure nothing I have installed does this. I'm at a loss here, any help is welcome.
 
Solution
bing desktop can change wallpapers randomly when connected to the internet. it changes to a different one daily. see if that is on your programs list and remove it. windows considers it an official, but optional update.
