Got this from How To Geek ......
By default Windows compresses desktop wallpapers in jpeg format. The attached registry hack will allow you to un-compress those images so you can add more life and vibrancy to your desktop.
If you use jpegs as your desktop wallpaper you can read the full article here to to see how to do this manually http://www.howtogeek.com/277808/windows-10-compresses-your-wallpaper-but-you-can-make-them-high-quality-again/
Or you can just download the file I have attached below that contains the registry hacks to both un-compress or restore Windows default jpeg compression settings.
Unzip the file, then run by right clicking on the registry hack and selecting "Merge"
After applying the hack make sure to reboot.
This only works on jpeg images, it will have no effect on any other image format(s).
If you are limted on the amount of ram your system has you may not want to do this.
