Wrong backgrounds after windows restart

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I run DeskScapes 10.03 on a 3 monitor system with different backgrounds on each of them.
In 90% of the cases, the background images are wrong after OS restart (Win10Pro).

Is there any settings to fix that issue?

Thanks a lot in advance, if someone could help

It is Version 1909
Build 18363.1256

When I installed DeskScapes 10 the first time, it worked fine with 3 different animated backgrounds.
But since I installed it again within the full package of Stardock Apps, it changes backgrounds by itself after almost every restart

Dear suppoert team,

I think I found the problem.
Since Deskscapes runs as a service, not as an app, the autostart order seems to be the issue.
On every display driver reset after closing certain applications, Deskcapes loses the backgrounds.
That's why I think, the autostart is just to early in the chain.

But I found a solution that works for the moment.
I just converted my background pictures for monitor 2 and 3 to .avi files,

then made .dream files out of them, and that works since a while together with an animated background on the 1st monitor.
So Deskscapes seems to find those .dream files better than the .jpgs after the display driver restart.
