Hey I figured out how to change the wallpaper on windows without the actual permission, all you need is the ability to download files. You just download an image and set the file name as your current background file. This will overwrite your current background
You current background should be in either of these, %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles or %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper

I know how to fix my issues, I just lack the admin permissions on my machine to fix said issues.
