I had the same problem. I had just changed one of my pictures from 3:4 ratio to 4:6 ratio. My screen is 16:9, so neither one of those would fill it perfectly anyway. While the 3:4 ratio centered nicely, with black background on the edges, as soon as I edited the picture, it blew up huge on the screen. Not only that, but all my pictures, no matter what ratio, blew up huge (except for the sample pictures that came with the computer; not sure why).

Solution: I right clicked on one random picture that I didn't care much about, clicked "edit" (which opens Windows Photo Gallery), clicked "file", then clicked "revert to original". It undid all of my past editing to that particular picture (but not to any other), BUT it fixed the desktop background problem for all my pictures. Now my 4:6 ratio pictures fit nicely, with just a tiny bit of edges clipped off.
