Desktop picture changes on it's own.

I am user of Monterey 12.6.3 and my desktop picture changes on it's own and there is this old solve:

”Try deleting the Desktop settings file. Open a Finder window, select Go

menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type

~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and

"com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart. Finally, change your

background”

Problem is: I just don't find any "com.apple.desktop.plist" named file from my Preferences folder.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.6

Refer to this excerpt under Change picture in Change Desktop preferences on Mac - Apple Support.


"Have your Mac automatically cycle through all the pictures available in the item or folder you selected in the list on the left. Click the pop-up menu, then choose how often to change the picture—for example, every hour."


If you do not want your Mac to do that, de-select that option.
