Have a look at this FAQ article, it discusses wallpapers being muted but if you replace muting with pausing, it describes the same issue:

I'm currently having the same problem, it has been happening for a few weeks, before then it was fine, but now it stutters and lags non-stop. I'm on windows 7.
I hope one of the devs has a solution for this.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

You said you have the same issue, so I am not sure what to say at this point. Did you try to check out the settings I mentioned above? If not, maybe make a new thread and describe your issue in detail, if you have performance problems that's a completely different issue from "wallpaper randomly pausing and unpausing".

In his comment he didn't mention having audio problems, which is what you offered a solution for.

As I said in my comment I have the same issue he described: The Wallpapers freeze, stutter and lag non-stop. The solution you provided to him does not aply to this situation, although it might have worked for him.

Audio has nothing to do with my problem, and the computer runs perfectly, the only thing that stutters is the wallpaper.

Do you have any idea of what I could do to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Like I said in my comment, the FAQ I provided him does indeed apply to his problem, it was audio-related because his Wallpaper Engine was configured to PAUSE when audio is played or recorded on his system.

If you have performance issues, let me know which exact wallpapers you have these issues with and try running our scan tool and provide the log:

Its been a while but I googled it and was sent here,
So if anyone's still having the issue and you know you have GeForce overlay on (or even installed at all), that was why for me,
I had to use "autosizer" to minimise the overlay but if you can find another way to minimise it that should work,

Also found this to be the issue with taskbar auto hiding just refusing to show up sometimes :steamthumbsup:
