Is that the only problem? Does everything else work OK? Do the desktop shortcut icons show and do they work?
If so, have you tried creating a new desktop wallpaper by opening a .jpg picture in one of your folders, RIGHT click on it, choose "Set as desktop background"?
And more importantly, because it appears like the Autoruns programs deleted a registry entry, have you tried running System Restore to a time before the problem occurred? (Right click "My Computer", choose "Properties", then "System Protection" tab, then the System Restore button. Follow the prompts to choose a restore date that is before the problem.

Hope this helps.

Hey guys,
After series of attempts to solve my problem i would ask community for this.
After login my desktop turns black. Ok, there was few described solutions on the net, but none of it worked in my case.
1.There are not configurations in policy group
2.In Easy center check box remove background images is unchecked
3.TranscodedWallpaper.jpg is correct and at the right place - preview is fine
4.sfc /scannow done but no result (as administrator)
5.It is legitimate copy of Windows 7 Professional

My PC machine worked fine with the same settings, including Aero theme a year - since i bought it.
I'm sure this Aero theme is not relevant to this issue. Below is some of PC characteristics:
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor (6 CPUs), ~3.5GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 7918MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Card name: ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics
What i have to share is that before this stupid unsolved issue i use Autoruns64 to check what services are running and during this check in the section Everything i unchecked these lines where software(Autoruns64) shows - File not found. That's it. Then after restart whaauuu - My desktop turns black!!!
Meanwhile i updated display driver to check this options as a solution, but no luck!
I run Malwarebytes - no threat detected!
I installed Kaspersky Antivirus trial version - no threat detected!
So, virus is not the case obviously.
Somewhere i read that Remote accessing software like Logme in, could turn in black Desktop - no such thing here!
None of all known solutions worked for me.
I can't figure out how get rid of this little problem that caused so much annoying headaches.
