Can't create a desktop theme since installing ver. 24H2

Yesterday I guess I had a major update because my machine installed version 24H2. One of the problems it has caused me is I can no longer create a new desktop theme. The option just is not there. I have searched the WEB for an answer but came up empty. When I go to Personalize and choose Themes, my old theme is there and listed as being current. But the photo I want to use is missing from it. If I click on the photo in the listed themes, it covers the entire desktop. I don't have the ability to center it as it should be.

I tried to create a new theme with what you can see inside the red sample box but there was no Save to save it. Please see attachment and the reason there is a lot withed out is because it is photos but it is what I wanted to save as a new theme.

Any suggestions on how I can once again get the ability to create new themes?

I think you have to make changes to the current theme before you can save it.

Otherwise, there’s always the Personalize (classic) option

I have no Save button. I tried to make a change and none was offered.

Thank you very much for that link. Not sure I'll use it yet because I do have my desktop showing what I want it to, just can't save it as a theme. But it does boot up the same every time.

You've reached the maximum number of themes?
Lol.

You should be able to use personalize classic and just save the current theme with it. No need to make a new one.

Thank you but let me ask this, would Windows 11 method still be accessible or does the Registry entry disable it?

If 3 is the maximum, then yes.
