Hello!

We deployed the desktop wallpaper background picture URL via Intune Device Configuration > Device Restrictions > Personalization. It seems that users are unable to change the wallpaper to a different background as they desire.

Is there a way to keep the desktop wallpaper configuration profile while allowing users the option to change the wallpaper through Personalization > Background? Thanks.

    Hi,

    Both cannot be done at same time, you can simply remove this URL from your device configuration profile.

    User's image

    You can also try crating another Adminsitrative template policy (similar way as we used to configure via Group policy.

    @Ahmed Alshatawi Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

    Based on my research, I find someone has discussed this issue. Gamingwithyourmom has provided a PowerShell script to make it.

    Hope it is what you want.
