    That's correct. If you are using the "Desktop background picture URL (Desktop only)" setting available in the Device restrictions template, it applies specifically to Windows 10/11 Enterprise and Windows 10/11 Education.

    If you need to set the desktop wallpaper using Intune for other editions or prefer an alternate method, you can consider using a PowerShell script. I am currently working on and testing a script for this purpose, and I will share it with you once it's ready.

    In the meantime, as a workaround, you could set the registry key, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop and on the right-hand side, you will find an entry called "Wallpaper". Update that to the wallpaper file location.

    @Siripurapu Sanjeev Kumar,Thanks for posting in Q&A.

    From your description, I know that you want to change desktop wallpaper on windows 10 pro and windows 10 enterprise, but windows 10 pro shown inapplicable.

    Based on my researching, I found that set the desktop background image with Intune by using a device restriction profile and pointing to a URL with the image you want to use is limited to Enterprise/Education, it is not applicable for windows 10.

    However, if you want to change windows 10 pro desktop wallpaper, you can refer the link below to deploy a PowerShell script or deploy a win32 app to replace the wallpaper.
