Desktop wallpaper set through GPN not displaying any more - black screen

[AWS]

Hello.

We have a GPO that amongst other things forces a corporate desktop wallpaper on our client PCs. We've now got a handful of windows 8 machines that we've started testing and this all appeared to be working as it should do, but recently one of them has started

giving a plain black desktop background.

When we had this in the past on a couple of W7 clients we used the hotfix as mentioned in the link below, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent for W8 and the registry change mentioned in the same article had no effect.

Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it?

Thanks
