GPO for Desktop Background

GPO for Desktop Background

I have a wallpaper image in the path below:
\\DC1\Myshare\wall.png

I have set up GPO and linked it to an OU where a user Wuser is located .
User generated image
However when I login to a computer with Wuser account , I do not see the wall paper I was supposed to see. Though from the computer where I logged on as Wuser I can browse and open the file  \\DC1\Myshare\wall.png
User generated image
Any help on this ?

Thank you

from the computer I logged on as Wuser, I ran gpresult /R and it seems like the GPO is applied as indicated by the red arrow on the screenshot:

I did this as you suggested. but still did not help.
Locate Administrative Templates, click System, click Group Policy, and then enable the Loopback Policy option.

Though the way I did it it should have worked as the GPO has been applied to user as show in the screenshot I posted

The way I got it resolved was:
 first the initial Wallpaper image , was .png  extension,  then I replaced it with . jpeg , however in the path I put it this way :
\\DC1\Myshare\wall.jpeg

Then I changed the extension from jpeg to .jpg

I run gpupdate /force , and was able to see the Wallpaper

So there is no Loopback processing needed
