25915.1000 breaks wallpaper engine
Just a PSA, don't update to this Canary build 25915.1000 if you like using Wallpaper engine.
A developer of this app has marked a post as the answer to the topic above.

After a discussion with Microsoft, they have removed the HDR wallpaper feature for now and they will overhaul the underlying system so that compatibility with wallpaper apps like Wallpaper Engine will be kept in the future.

For this reason, we have removed our hacky hotfix solution from the latest beta, since it's not needed anymore on any of the stable versions of Windows, including the stable Windows 23H2 update. Our hacky solution was also a bit problematic from a technical point of view and introduces a lot of unnecessary risks, so removing it and working with Microsoft on a good solution is a much better approach.

If you continue to have issues on the Insider edition of Windows, please switch to a stable version of Windows. We cannot supply regular updates to the rapidly changing beta versions of Windows, especially since we are now aware that Microsoft is actively overhauling the desktop experience of Windows. We'll always try to ensure that Wallpaper Engine will work on stable versions of Windows but it's not reasonable for us to provide updates for Insider editions of Windows, as they can change on a weekly basis.

Hope that makes sense but if you have any questions, I'll try to answer them.

Hmm. I always keep everything up to date and I am assuming I am at this update you mention for what, Wallpaper Engine? Everything still works fine for me.

Now that doesn't mean you're not having the issue you are, but maybe it's not from what you think it is or it is a specific case related to you in some way but not necessarily everyone else?

Just saying. Also not 100% sure what you mean by 25915.1000

Recently updated Windows too (always keep it up to date, whatev) and still working fine
If you don't know what they meant by 25915.1000 then you do not have this Windows build since it's a Canary build for Windows Insiders.

I confirm this. And also this Insider preview, is breaking UWR (utility for removing the watermark of Evaluiation copy text), and least for me. The old registry setting for removing watermark, is not working neither.

Thanks for the heads-up, make sure to submit a bug report through the Windows "Feedback Hub" app that is pre-installed on Windows. In the past, they were very responsive to bug reports like this. It really makes a difference if people report bugs in the insider builds to their development team. Take a look at this page for more infos on the Microsoft Feedback Hub:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-insider/feedback-hub/feedback-hub-app

For us, there is no way to fix this issue in the app directly because it is a bug in the beta version of Windows that you are using. If you want a stable experience on Windows, you should leave the "Insider" program on Windows and only use stable versions of Windows.

It's not just Wallpaper Engine.
Razer Axon, which does a similar thing, is also broken for this build.
Multi-desktop wallpaper is also quite buggy, if anyone else uses that feature.

It's working for me now and I have no clue what I did to make it work. I just reupdated to it (it fixed an issue in a game I was having) and now it magically works again. I have no explanations as to why it's working on this build again.
