Deskscapes not loading properly at Windows startup

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

When rebooting my laptop, and as Windows 11 loads to the desktop, Deskscapes will not load properly and I end up with a white screen instead of the background picture I've chosen within Deskscapes. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try, uninstall Deskscapes, reboot immediately (important), re-download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

Thank you.

No luck. I have decided to go with Wallpaper Engine as it just works. Deskscapes seems to always have problems and it's really too bad. I use Start 11, Fences and Groupy which all work flawlessly. Since Windows 11 24H2 was released, I've noticed Deskscapes having issues. I hope Stardock will have a new update soon for this software. Until then, I'll use Wallpaper Engine. Thanks anyways.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more details please.

  1. Windows 10 or 11? Also need its version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe to get these.
  2. Deskscape version number.
  3. Animated or Static wallpapers?
  4. Monitor/s configuration, Resolutions, Orientation, Scale factors (100%, 125% 300% etc), Connection type, docking stations.
  5. Monitor Display managers running?
  6. Special Graphics drivers setting? Such as AMD Eyefinity etc.
  7. Any other details that might help us narrow down the issue.
