The wallpaper does not work and a black screen instead

Hello all! Unfortunately, I'm a beginner and I don't quite understand what the problem is (I hope I attached the images correctly).

The desktop wallpaper is not displayed (mouse clicks work, as well as highlighting, icons are also visible). But instead of wallpaper, there is a black screen. In the wallpaper settings, all the wallpapers have disappeared (I attached an image).

When trying to change the wallpaper through the explorer, an error occurs (I attached an image)

What could this be related to or what ideas do you have?

P.S: Please let me know if there are errors in the post or it is not complete, I will fix it.

First of all, reboot (see final symbol)

This problem is definitely a month old already. During this time, I have updated and rebooted the system many times. Unfortunately, the problem does not disappear after a reboot

Try to set Wallpaper type to Image.

Oh, thank you! And why other options then?

One option was recently removed since not working anymore (Inactive blur), so, probably, the system defaulted to Plain color for you.
