![Weather Paper](https://d2qafhy1aqyxco.cloudfront.net/original/1X/e8ed2088f80a46935af8511c84b6406a1cbc8ab9.jpeg) Hopefully the attached screenshot will answer everything? My radar wallpaper stopped updating at 9:25am today. AccuWX Radar Illinois. ---

Do you see a more recent image [here](https://sirocco.accuweather.com/nx_mosaic_640x480_public/sir/inmsiril_.gif)? What happens when you right click the Weather Watcher system tray icon and choose “Refresh Wallpaper”? ---

Yes, the image you linked to is more recent than mine. If I ‘refresh wallpaper’, nothing changes. I have tried stopping/restarting the program. No change. ---

Have you tried reinstalling Weather Watcher? You can re-run the [current Weather Watcher installer](https://www.singerscreations.com/WeatherWatcher/) over top of your existing Weather Watcher installation. ---

OK, I just did the re-install. Nothing changed. I did not do an uninstall first. I’ll try a Windows reboot now. Haven’t done that yet. ---

Rebooting Windoze didn’t help. Same wallpaper is still showing. ---

OK, I have some additional info… If I change my wallpaper setting to be anything other than AccuWx, then refresh, then the wallpaper changes. If I change it back to AccuWx (any flavor, not just radar), and refresh, nothing changes. The wallpaper image selected above remains. So for now, I have it set to Illinois Intellicast Radar, and it is updating as it should. So the problem appears to isolated to AccuWx wallpapers. If there is a particular AccuWx (or other) page you would like me to try, let me know. -Ray ---

Thank you for those details! What happens when you reinstall Weather Watcher using [this 7.2.291 installer](https://www.singerscreations.com/WeatherWatcher/) instead? ---

OK, using that installer, I am able to get a current AccuWX wallpaper image now. I’ll get back to you in a but to confirm that it updates as it should. ---

OK, the wallpaper is updating now. So all seems to be fixed. Thanks! ---

I had the same problem just for the record, no update for wallpaper with accuwx, I had the latest version installed then reinstalled with the posted installer and it started updating again…so you’re not crazy… ---

Thanks for that! I’m always suspicious when something suddenly stops working like that at a time when nothing obvious had been changed or updated. ---

That’s why I came and signed up for the forum today, mine stopped updating yesterday around 10am and I couldn’t figure out what was going on, hope Singer sees these last posts, might have a bug in the software, thanks…you beet me to it… ---

> [@kenro](#): > > hope Singer sees these last posts, might have a bug in the software Everything is technically a bug I suppose. The issue was caused by something AccuWX changed in the way they host their images. ---

None taken. I’m agreeing with you that it’s a bug in Weather Watcher. In this case, it happened to be caused by something outside of Weather Watcher itself. ---

I released [Weather Watcher 7.2.292](https://www.singerscreations.com/WeatherWatcher/) to officially make this change. There’s no need to install this new version if 7.2.291 was already reinstalled from the link I previously shared above. ---
