If you want to reduce the JPEG artifacts, you can manuall save the image as a low compression JPEG (99-100%) to "%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes" (just copy into the address bar of any explorer window), then right-click it and "set as wallpaper". If Windows compresses it, quality drops drastically because some people at Microsoft thought noone had the storage space for high quality pictures (the lack of PNG support is just ridiculous).

alternatively, open the picture (of any filetype) in firefox, and use the right-click "set picture as desktop" feature
that keeps the quality also and since you probably have firefox open already anyway, it's not like it's TOO MANY STEPS over the usual way anyway Thanked by: Garamonde

Oh gosh, I never ever thought of that, nor did I realize it would save in perfect quality. Thanks Vipe, fixed again. It looks amazing now.

After rebooting, quality was at Windows standard (awful). I shut down my PC a lot.

Wait, it stops working when you shut down your PC for the night...? :X

For me, the Firefox method resulted in just as weirdly compressed JPGs once I rebooted, yes.
I haven't done it in a while, though, so it maybe has changed by now. If it did, that'd be neat as it is far more convenient.
