Go to Start, type regedit and open the application. Navigate to HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies and click the ActiveDesktop folder. Select the NoChangingWallPaper entry, double-click the DWORD value and change it to 0. Also, go to Start > Control Panel > Ease of Access > Ease of Access Center, select Make the computer easier to see and make sure that Remove background images box is not checked.
If the problem is not solved, go to Start, type Edit group policy and open the application. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop again and double-click the Desktop WallpaperSelect. Click Not Configured, Apply and then OK.
If you're using Windows 7, go to Start, type %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\ and press the Enter key. Right-click the TranscodedWallpaper.jpg file select Rename and change its name to TranscodedWallpaper.old. If there is a slideshow.ini file, open it and remove all the text. Save the file and try to apply a background picture again.
If the problem is not solved, check the Microsoft Support page for further solutions.

When you receive this message, the immediate step is to install an antivirus solution and perform a scan of your computer or update the system using Windows update. Alternatively, this could be a message that indicates malware is installed on your computer and you should perform a scan with AdwCleaner to make sure that there are no leftover rogue registry keys or toolbars in your system.
Since this is an update, you can remove it from the Add Remove Programs in Control Panel. Make sure to check Show Updates then locate the package and remove it. If you remove this package your Windows will not pass Genuine Advantage making it impossible to receive important updates for your computer.
