desktop wallpaper turned black My MacBook Air (13 inch, 2017 model) restarted and my desktop wallpaper disappeared. The screen is now black and when I try to set a desktop wallpaper, it doesn't work. I have tried re-starting my Mac but that didn't do anything. How would I go about fixing this? Thanks
