dynamic desktop won't download

Hello, I tried searching for an article on this matter before reaching out, but haven't found anything useful so far that will help solve this issue. Articles I came across suggested my location services needed to be active.


I have ensured they location services are active, they were already before checking, but for some reason I am unable to download any of the Dynamic Desktop pictures in order to change my desktop background.


What prevents the download from completing?


Any help on this would be appreciated. I am having this issue with a new Mac Studio. Using MacOS Monterey 12.5.1

Mac Studio, macOS 12.5

Yes, I've tried downloading the images by clicking on the cloud icon.


I've also tried switching between all 3 appearance modes, Light, Dark and Auto,


I've tried booting in Safe mode, repeating all the same steps, and nothing will allow the download to complete. The download initiates, but never completes.


Some images appear to show a status that 50% has been downloaded, but it never finishes.
