Can I set the Axon wallpaper as the default Windows 11 wallpaper?

Hiya,

Love Razer Axon, thank you. However, I don’t like how when rebooting the computer, it takes a moment for the Axon wallpaper to replace the default wallpaper (or sometimes I need to nudge it by opening Axon) - if I could just make it the Windows wallpaper, that would solve the problem?

Thanks!

Any thoughts anyone? Much appreciated!

I have the same problem , Axon is not working at the moment.  Windows likes to kick the program out. I will try another reboot and see if Axon works again.

I agree!  the background should be thoughtless (it’s a background).  I prefer the axon background, but when it delays startup, or if I have to  perform an action every time to turn it on, then it becomes yet another distractor. 

Also, how can I keep the other Razer apps from automatically loading at every startup when I’m not going to play games, etc.  It is really slowing down my startup and I’m only really using it when I’m going to be gaming.  My laptop is not purely for gaming! I have turned them off in my startup folder, but they still auto start! This is making me think that I want an other-than-Razer laptop next time.  I like the laptop but the software is intrusive and apparently not on-demand.  Thank you!

I get the same problem too, for me, it will take a min but it would be nice for it to always be available after I login. I also wish that Microsoft will let Razer Axon enable a 3D or live wallpaper as the lock in screen.

In the app go to settings and disable startup option there. It's been working for me like this. Must be done in both Synapse and Chroma if installed. The others, Cortex, Axon, and THX are independent in this manner.

 

Also to the others, I have downloaded an Axon wallpaper and set as a static wallpaper in Windows. Try it let me know if you can't figure it out.
