How do I fix the wallpaper on my microsoft edge?

To address the issue of daily wallpapers in Microsoft Edge, you can customize the new tab page settings. Although there may not be a direct option to completely remove the daily wallpapers, you can adjust the appearance by selecting the customize button on the new tab page. This allows you to set a specific background image instead of using the daily changing wallpapers.

If you're unable to find the option to disable the daily wallpapers, it could be due to the version of Microsoft Edge you are using or any organizational policies that might be in place if you are using a work-managed device. In such cases, checking with your IT department may provide additional insights into any restrictions that could be affecting your settings.

Hi Ellie,

You turn it off on the New tab page itself, not in Settings > Appearance.

Open a new tab in Edge. Click the gear icon at the top right called Customize. Choose Custom. In the Background section set it to Off, or turn off the Image of the day switch. If you still see a background, change Layout to Focused, then go back to Custom and confirm Background is Off.

If the Background option is missing altogether, reply here and I will help you check if that page is being managed by an organization policy.

The Daily Wallpaper setting is controlled from the New Tab Page, not the Appearance menu. Please open a new tab and select the gear icon > Custom to check whether the “Image of the day” toggle is available.

If the toggle doesn’t appear, it may be due to the specific Microsoft Edge version you're using or a managed device policy.

Could you confirm your Edge version (Settings > About Microsoft Edge)? That will help determine whether the feature is available in your build.
