How do I STOP Ec2Wallpaper_Info.jpg from overriding my configured wallpaper? - Win Server 2022 VM

0

Hello!

I have set a custom wallpaper image for my EC2 VM running Windows Server 2022.

Whenever I logout of the VM and log back in, I see my desired wallpaper load with the desktop, then it is suddenly replaced with the standard EC2 wallpaper that display system details in the upper-right corner (Ec2Wallpaper_Info.jpg).

How can I stop this overriding wallpaper from loading, or make my desired wallpaper image persist?

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you! -Jay

Hello community!

I figured it out...

Open the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) and go to Local Computer Policy > User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop.

Locate the setting for Desktop Wallpaper, and ENABLE it. You must enter a value e.g. absolute path and filename of the image you want to load.

Apply to save the setting, OK to close.

Logout of your VM and login to verify.

Regards,

Jay

  • It may vary a bit according to the server, but the windows servers I am running have something called the "Amazon EC2Launch Settings" App (search for EC2 in the Start area). This has many options, including the Wallpaper setting.

You can disable the EC2 Wallpaper Information feature through the EC2 Service Properties system dialog. This feature is what's causing your custom wallpaper to be overridden with the system information display.

Here's how to disable it:

  1. Open the EC2 Service Properties system dialog on your Windows Server 2022 instance
  2. Navigate to the General tab
  3. Find the "Wallpaper Information" setting
  4. Uncheck or disable this setting

This will prevent the system from displaying the EC2 instance information on your desktop background (Ec2Wallpaper_Info.jpg) and allow your custom wallpaper to persist between sessions.

The Wallpaper Information feature is designed to display system information about your EC2 instance on the desktop background, which is controlled by the settings file located at EC2ConfigService\Settings\WallpaperSettings.xml. By disabling this feature, your custom wallpaper will no longer be replaced when you log out and log back in.
