If you want a free program that works and are interested in amateur
photography I use ICE (Image Composite Editor).

It does a pretty good job of stitching overlapping photos together, OK
your smart phone can also do this but I prefer a Digital camera photos.

*No results found* LOL!

So, those Wallpapers... contain subliminal imagery that turned you into
an idiot when you looked. Is that what happened?

It looks like a browser is a browser. No problem reaching the
site, even if it is only wallpaper. Next we'll be discussing
free desktop ringtones.

That's the result you get when you don't use a Microsoft account.

Reaching the site was no problem. It was Microsoft reporting, from their
web page, No results found.
But later on, MS found their wallpapers.

There are system requirements!
And *These images are to be used as desktop wallpaper only*
So you better _NOT_ dare upload any screenshots of them, Paul.

Wallpaper. Not quite an App now, is it? Except that, having win10 as a
system requirement, it can't be a common jpg. Is there some special
dependency associated with it? Does it run? Has to be some reason for it
to require win10, and be used as wallpaper only. A marketing strategy?
MS could just as well shove it out in an update. But then they wouldn't
have an excited dope shouting about Top Free Apps From Microsoft!!!!!!!!!

Even reading the release notes is a hoot!

A wallpaper that "crashes" -- Woohoo!
Whatโ€™s new in this version /
/
1.2.17.0 v
Fix issue that causes app to crash on startup

1.2.16.0
Now uses VLC engine to allow better playback, greater stability, and less resource consumption!
Fixed an issue where immediately browsing folders before closing popup results in error
Fixed an issue where wallpaper is put in foreground
Added checks to prevent app from crashing in certain scenarios
Improved icon ^
\__ Woohoo!
1.1.13.0
Fixed issue with app not reloading user session & settings
Modify default background
Fixed an issue with crashing on startup

*******

At least it only "crashes" in "certain scenarios",
like, if you installed it. Did I mention it was free ?
