cant set a folder of background images to "Change picture: every day"

I previously had a folder on my desktop filled with a bunch of images I used for a desktop background. I had it set to "Change picture: every day" so that it would cycle through the folder on a daily basis.


However, after updating to Monterey, I can select a background from the image folder but whenever I click "Change picture: every day" it automatically changes the desktop back to a default one. How can I get my background to change every day from a folder of images?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4

FWIW, you can try booting into Safe Mode, then boot normally. Sometimes that will resolve a problem.

Other than that, I don't know. It works fine for me on more than one Mac.
