Just a heads up to say I just got a couple of emails from Stardock saying that there's a Summer Sale on now and there are discounts on selected Games and Software

Please do not bother with DeskScapes for now as it does not work on 24H2 and create havoc.
This issue was reported 6 weeks ago and a fix is supposed to be in the works.

Interesting you should say that cos I'm doing a 1 month trial; and and it uses a lot of CPU and an 'internet speedtest' strangely gives a low result. I had (Steam) Wallpaper Engine on Windows 10 which was great but it doesn't work on W11. I wasn't gonna pay for the permanent Deskscapes after the trial. I'll re-look at it after your post. Thanks.

DeskScapes desktop icons overlays double up and it is a disaster on more than one display.
Wallpaper engine works fine for me on 24H2.
Steam is a memory hog though and I leave that disabled and only enable it to change background.

Interesting OAT. I'm having another go with Wallpaper Engine since reading your comment.

I have an older version v1.4.173 which worked perfectly on Windows 10. I installed it a long time ago and am (obviously) doing something wrong now with Windows 11.

When I run wallpaper64.exe, nothing appears on the screen but there is an icon in the System Tray. (Same with wallpaper32.exe). When I open it, select a wallpaper and press OK, it minimizes but nothing appears on the desktop. There is something fundamentally wrong that I'm missing here. What do you reckon ??

I would stop & disable the wallpaper32/64.exe that may be running.
Uninstall wallpaper engine, reboot. Reinstall via Steam.
I have WallPaper Engine on both Dev & Canary builds and they run without issues.
I see you have not filled out your specs in your profile, so it's hard to tell if your system is up to par.
