Desktop Background Image Keeps Changing Itself

My Desktop Background Settings are not set to change photos ever. Yet, it seems to do so just about every time I shut it down or restart it? Gets annoying having to fight with it after a while. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

If this is a Intel Mac and no resolve —

Try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
