My school seems a bit confusing. The laptops have hidden settings that aren’t helpful for me, and most of them are unnecessary. One thing that bothers me a lot is the inability to change wallpapers. I can switch my lockscreen wallpapers, but not the desktop ones. When I try to adjust them, the system just says the settings are hidden or managed by the organization. I’ve searched for ways to bypass this, but none seem to work. Some suggest disabling the admin account in the registry, though I’m not sure if I should try that. There are other options, like using a wallpaper engine, but those affect performance and drain the battery quickly. I just want to be able to change wallpapers without hurting my laptop’s performance or battery life. Some people might say I shouldn’t change things on my school laptop because they can take it back, but that’s not true. I’ve already fixed a similar issue once—Windows Hello worked correctly after proper setup, and the school handled it without problems. Other changes I can make are themes, cursors, and taskbar colors. I’m confused about why wallpapers are restricted at all.
It doesn't matter. The school's rules apply, and you must adhere to them. If you need to adjust something on a computer, use your own device. That's why we shouldn't assist you in this way. Past mistakes don't justify repeating them.
The school likely avoids this because of students leaving their laptops unlocked, which could pose a security risk. I experienced it myself at school, and since I use Wallpaper Engine, someone placed a inappropriate image on my screen during a short break. This might damage the school's reputation. If you adjust settings—like when you turn on Windows Hello—it becomes unnecessary for the school to intervene.
This reminds me of the saying "a little knowledge is very dangerous in the wrong hands."
