  1. I can't really change my background picture.


    My background consists of randomly changing pictures of console/speaker setups. I did not set that up, and it's been that way for a couple weeks now...

    If I want to change my background, it says it's set to a custom image. So I try to change it to either a screenshot or an achievement art, but everytime I go back to my homescreen from an app, it reverts back to its previous state.

    I haven't heard of this problem before so I didn't find a solution...does anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance I can't really change my background picture. :)

    In what color is your homescreen shining at you?

    Color-grey. (since launch)

    Background - I made my own Halo MCC picture (preview beta "privilege").

    But now i will make my own backgrounds and change it at will. I can't really change my background picture. :)

    Why can't I change background picture

    Hey there!

    Nice to meet you! My name is Christian, an independent advisor. I'm here to help you out.

    are you trying to change the background picture on the Xbox app or from the console itself?

    try to press the Xbox button  on your controller to open the guide, and then select Profile & System > Settings > General > Personalisation > My background.

    then try to Copy a JPG or PNG file that you want to use to a USB device, and then plug it into your Xbox.

    On your Xbox, select Customised image. A dialogue box appears that shows the contents of your console and attached USB device.

    Select the USB device, and then choose your image.

    You can also set a customised image as your background while using the Microsoft Edge app on an Xbox console. To do so, find any image you like within the Microsoft Edge app, move the browser pointer over that image, select the Menu button  and then Set as background.

    I hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Christian.
