After upgrading to macOS Monterey, my desktop wallpapers (I'm using dual screen) won't update. Every time I restart/shut down my Mac, it keeps using the old wallpapers instead of the new ones. Is anyone else facing this problem? If so, how do I fix this annoying bug?
My MacBook Pro specs:
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0
Thank you for the response. I tried using First Aid but didn't work.
I believe it was a major bug caused by upgrading from Big Sur to Monterey. It somehow messed up my wallpaper among other things. I had no choice but to reformat my MacBook Pro. Thankfully, I had backed up all my data so the process was alright. Now the wallpaper is working again. ˆ_ˆ
Cheers!

Hello krisfrosz133,
From your post it appear that you are having an issue with the Mac saving the wallpaper settings.
We would suggest that you try starting up the system in what is called safe mode. This will help isolate this issue.
To start in safe mode, begin with the computer powered off. Follow the directions found here, depending on what type of Mac you have: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
The computer will take longer to start in safe mode, and the screen may have some distorted video as it starts up. This is normal. Once you are logged in, reset the wallpaper and restart the computer in safe mode again.
If everything seems to work as expected, go ahead and restart the computer normally and test again. Starting in safe mode forces the computer to run some disk checks similar to First Aid. This can resolve some issues.
Cheers.
