For some reason, when I wake my 11 box from sleep, for the last couple 
of days the screen background remains all black.  It is set to shuffle 
through about 4 different pictures, and has always worked just fine, and 
did work properly when I'd wake the system.  Programs I open look and 
work as they should.  Taskbar and icons all appear normal.  Desktop 
icons also show.  Only thing missing is the proper background images.

First time I had it happen, I right clicked on the desktop and clicked 
refresh and it came right up as it should.  Last couple times, I just 
wait and do what I intended to work on, and within about 30-60 seconds 
it finally gets the screen right.

I don't know if this might have anything to do with it but I did get a 
new monitor a few weeks back, but Windows 11 loaded whatever drivers it 
needed and it does work just fine otherwise.
Anybody seen this or have a clue why it might be doing this?
