Wallpaper Engine is one of the most popular third-party applications, offering millions of wallpapers to users. However, it seems that a recent Windows 11 update has caused this application to malfunction.
The Windows 11 and Copilot updates are causing conflicts with the Wallpaper Engine application.
Last week, Microsoft released the Moment 4 update for Windows 11 with new features and Windows Copilot, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) assistant powered by Bing AI. Initial assessments suggest that Windows Copilot may be the culprit behind the performance issues of the Wallpaper Engine.
Last July, when Microsoft was testing the Moment 4 update, the Wallpaper Engine development team confirmed they had a conversation about the update and the issues reported by internal Windows users, according to Neowin.
Following discussions, Microsoft removed the HDR (High Dynamic Range) wallpaper feature and will overhaul the underlying system to maintain compatibility with future wallpaper apps like Wallpaper Engine.
The Wallpaper Engine team stated that they also received similar reports from users on the feedback center. They themselves had to reinstall Wallpaper Engine and disable Windows Copilot after the Moment 4 update was released on their systems. It seems that Microsoft did not completely resolve this issue before releasing the Moment 4 update to users.
Users can disable Windows Copilot if it causes errors. Recently, a law enacted in Europe prevented Microsoft from deploying Copilot to users in the European Union (EU) due to concerns about personal data security.
