I'm looking for some help with changing up the desktop backgrounds at work. For a long time, we've been using a single background that I designed a couple of years ago. But now that we're rebranding, our new marketing director wants to allow users to choose from multiple backgrounds. I remember seeing something about rotating backgrounds with a delay of 99 hours, where users could skip to the next one by right-clicking. Is this even possible on Windows Server 2022, without using Intune or anything like that?

It’s doable! You can set and refresh desktop wallpapers using command line commands. If you have a login script, you could set different backgrounds to cycle through based on a schedule, which sounds like a viable approach for what you need.
Hey there! I came across a method shared by an IT guru that might help you deploy a desktop background using Group Policy. You can check it out in this link: [How to Deploy Desktop Background Wallpaper Using Group Policy](https://www.prajwaldesai.com/deploy-desktop-background-wallpaper-using-group-policy/). But this one is more about setting a static image. If you want users to pick between multiple backgrounds, this approach might not be what you're looking for.
I found a potential solution regarding allowing users to select multiple wallpapers. You can look into using PowerShell along with Scheduled Tasks for rotation, or create a theme that allows users to click and switch backgrounds. Here's a link to more details: [Theme Deployment GPO](https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28333182/Theme-Deployment-GPO.html). This approach could offer the flexibility you're hoping for.
