Aug 29, 2022 at 0:50 comment added bmike Welcome to Ask Different. I recommend you put an answer explaining what you did and what you think might be up. That helps everyone learn. Many will not initially know what you did not.
Aug 28, 2022 at 22:42 comment added J.R. Bob Dobbs Welp, I believe the alternative method of assigning a background image resolved the issue. I still believe the original issue was caused by attempting to use an invalid image type. Not sure what to do with this question, since am new here....

Aug 28, 2022 at 20:53 comment added J.R. Bob Dobbs @Tetsujin I think you're on the right path; Perhaps attempting to add the wrong image file type (raw) as a desktop image caused the issue. Using the plutil -p ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist said it's not readable or is not a regular file. By viewing a photo in Photos and right-click > share > set as desktop background...was able to apply a new image; however, still can't access the Desktop preferences pane.

Aug 28, 2022 at 17:31 comment added Tetsujin If it's tried & failed to add something incompatible to the desktop image, it might work to remove or replace from a backup the file at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist [untested].
Aug 28, 2022 at 16:30 comment added bmike I’ve never heard of deleting files in that directory as a fix for anything. Do you mean trying to fix your profile by deleting user library (hidden files) as a way to avoid restoring your data to a new account?
