White Screen for wallpaper
I keep having white screens for wallpapers every now and then, it's not constant, but it happens at least a couple times a month. And whenever it happens, it keeps happening throughout the day and sometimes lasts for a week or two.

It looks like the web wallpaper process crashes, this is basically a cut down version of Google chrome specifically for web based wallpapers.

Web wallpapers comes with their own scripts so it may be due to the wallpaper doing something that isn't quite right or an overlay/recording program may be causing a problem.

It may help if you could create this log right while the problem is occurring, this could provide more information. But for starters you can change the "other application fullscreen" option to "stop" to avoid that a web wallpaper may have an issue if it's too demanding and it may get unexpectedly terminated while playing a game.

I'll try stopping it, and I'll reply back to here when the problem occurs again with the log for it. Thanks!

Thanks, what were you doing when it happened/you noticed it? Were you playing a game before or were you just on the desktop?

It happens no matter what I'm doing. I could be in game, I could be using my browser, I could just be chilling on discord with nothing else open, I could have nothing up at all too.

Which one of these are you using that has this issue, or did it happen with both of them?

I'm assuming it must have been with one of these, but if not can you share a link to the wallpaper?

It's the bottom one, I haven't used that top one in a while and I can't recall if it ever happened with it

Could you try different web type wallpapers for a while and see if you can reproduce it with any web wallpaper? The top one would be a good comparison and here is another one that should be quite stable: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=786782443

The bottom one you are using right now also looks like a ton of work went into it but since I personally haven't used it or looked at its script it's difficult to judge whether it may have an issue or may just be too resource intensive. In any case I think it's worth checking if the issue happens with any web type wallpaper, even completely different ones like these.
