[Pcgamer27]

i am looking for a script that downloads image for wallpaper desktop

this one doesn't work
$url = 'https://images.alphacoders.com/137/1377548.png';
return ( Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -UseBasicParsing -TimeoutSec 30 ).Content;

I can't get the original PNG file (24.7 MB) to import as Desktop background, unless it's converted to JPEG first.

UPDATE: This is a known issue with >24 MB PNG files since W10.
There is no native support for PNG as source images, and Windows will silently transcode them to JPEG (unless it was originally a BMP file).

can't you have that in a script because background needs to have the full version of ntlite

You can use the manual methods of changing the wallpaper.
