software wont open » Forum Post by E

Hello, I understand you’re frustrated, though I’d encourage keeping the title respectful so we can focus on resolving the issue together. To help troubleshoot, I’ll need a bit more detail:

Are you using an ARM‑based CPU system?
Do you see any error popups during installation?
Which version of DeskScapes are you trying to open?
Have you tried re‑downloading the installer to see if that resolves it?

Once we have this information, we’ll be in a better position to identify the cause and get things working for you.

Thank you,

I am having the same problem. The only thing that loads is my deskscape wallpapers I previously downloaded. This seems to be another eror like a couple of months ago. Why bother if it doesn't work when I want to change my wall ppaer.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Not really sure on your issue, few questions.

Need to know Windows 10/11 full version and OS Build number. Use Winver.exe
Need to know Deskscape full version number installed.
What error popup when you try to download new wallpapers?
Sometimes the will be some issue getting to wallpapers do to server issue, from what I know, Wincustomize.com is getting some work done. And those wallpapers that appear on Deskscape come from Wincustomize.com.

Thank you,

It has been happening more often lately that Deskscapes is down. Is there a network problem.

As I mentioned above, Wincustomize.com, the platform where all DeskScapes wallpapers and dreams are uploaded and stored, is currently undergoing a site overhaul. During this process, some downtime or access issues may occur. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding while these improvements are being made.

Thank you,
