I tried this with mine and it didn’t work, but I did find a procedure
that did.
Right-click on your desktop and select “Arrange Icons By”
If “Lock Web Items on Desktop” has a check mark, left-click on it to
uncheck it.
If it’s not checked, left-click on it to add the check mark, then
right-click on desktop again and repeat to remove the check mark.
It’ll take a few seconds but your screen will flash and the blue
backgrounds will be gone. Not to mention, my desktop loads about 25
seconds faster now.
I had tried every suggestion offered on the Internet and this was the
only one that worked for me.
