Hello,
For a few months now, from time to time, my wallpaper changes on its own, replacing the classic blue Windows 10 background with a pornographic image (different each time).
I have Kaspersky and Malwarebytes installed, and neither detects any threats.
I have also not activated the slideshow option (certainly not to endure this kind of photos).
Thank you in advance
My configuration:
Acer Nitro 5 - bought new in 2020, W10 latest updates (now like a few months ago), 64-bit edition.
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 91.0.4472.77

Hello,
first check if you have the latest version of Windows 10. To verify, go to this page, click on Update now, this will launch the download of the Microsoft tool; simply open it and it will allow you to update Windows 10 to the latest version and let you know if it is compatible with your PC. Be careful, this update takes some time, so if you have a laptop, plug it into a power source, as it would be a shame to run out of battery before the update is complete.
