Is Wallpaper Engine safe to use again?

I heard about a week ago that if you downloaded a wallpaper off of Wallpaper Engine it could deliver malware to your device. Is this issue fixed and is it safe to use and download freely?

[FIX] Desktop flashing/turning black every 10 seconds on Windows 11 Build 26H1

Hi everyone

If you recently updated to Windows 11 Build 26H1 and noticed your desktop background continuously flashes or turns solid black every 10 seconds while Wallpaper Engine is running in the tray I found the definitive root cause and fix for it

### 🔍 The Cause

In the new 26H1 build Windows handles background desktop rendering and theme updates differently If you have the "Override" options enabled Wallpaper Engine constantly generates backup images in `%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes` to sync with your Windows accent colors and lockscreen Windows 11 rejects this loop causing the Desktop Window Manager DWM to glitch and flash a black screen every 10 seconds

### 🛠️ How to Fix It

1 Open **Wallpaper Engine Settings**

2 Go to the **General** tab and scroll down to the **Windows** section

3 **Uncheck** these two options

* ❌ `Override wallpaper image`

* ❌ `Override lockscreen image`

*Note In my testing keeping ONLY the "Override lockscreen image" enabled didn't immediately trigger the black screen bug However since it still drops backup image files into the OS theme directory it's highly recommended to keep BOTH turned off until a hotfix is released to prevent potential background system crashes or freezes*

Hope this helps anyone breaking their head over this annoying bug

Do you pause Wallpaper Engine while gaming, or just use lighter wallpapers?

I’m curious what people actually do for daily use. Do you pause Wallpaper Engine while gaming to avoid GPU/CPU or battery spikes, or do you just use lower-motion scenes?

If you changed one setting that made the biggest difference, what was it?
