Your computer's desktop wallpaper is an extension of your personality, so it makes sense to set one that you love. Many people use top wallpaper sites to grab cool prints, sometimes even setting them in a slideshow so you don't have to decide on just one image.

However, sometimes simplicity wins, and you'd just like to make your background a solid color. Windows 10 allows you to choose from a wide spectrum of colors for this, but white is curiously missing from the Personalize section of Settings. Visiting Personalize in the Control Panel doesn't do you any good either, as choosing to use a color just redirects you to the Settings app.

While white definitely won't match if you've decked out Windows 10 in a black theme, you can still set it using a small workaround if you'd like.

For this one, we need to use some specifics in the Run dialogue, a utility that's easy to miss but carries a lot of helpful commands. Press Windows Key + R to open Run, then type the following:

        control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper
    

Running this will bring up the Windows 7-style desktop wallpaper options. Here, you can select the drop-down box by Picture location: and choose Solid Colors. From here, you'll be able to select any color you can select in Settings, with the noticeable addition of white.

Why you aren't able to set a white background in the normal wallpaper options is a curiosity, but at least there's a quick way around it.
