    Hi, Microsoft Q&A is meant for developers rather than end-users. For end-user feedback, you can submit feedback through the Feedback Hub app pre-installed on Windows.

    However, setting wallpapers from Android apps is not supported. If you want to change your wallpaper, you can look for and use a Windows wallpaper app rather than an Android app.

    Hello there,

    Can you please add the image of the error message you are getting? Is this your personal PC or your office PC?

    Click Start, type Regedit and hit <enter>. Click continue at the UAC prompt. Expand the branches to reach this one:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

    Check the values here for one about the wallpaper (either change the value from 0 to 1 or delete it altogether).

    Now restart the PC and see if that helps.

    hello there.
    If you mean you want to change the wallpaper of Windows Subsystem for Android rather than wallpaper of windows
    Sorry,this function is not supporting now. Windows Subsystem for android is testing now
    There are a lot of functions that WSC dosent have
    So,enjoy WSC without custom settings
    Good night XD
