Is it possible to stop a windows form panel background image from refreshing?

Hello guys, I hope you are all well!

I am creating a game in Visual Studio using picture box's, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how I can have a nice picture in the background, as when I do put one in there it is constantly redrawn everytime the game refreshes and this make it impossible to play as it slows almost to a halt. My question for you pro's is, can I set the background image of the panel to never refresh?

With the amount of different things Visual Studio can do, I am sure there must be a way to achieve this simple task?

I have tried everything but I cannot figure it out, if anyone can help me I would be greatly appreciative!

Many thanks to you all!!

Cheers!!!!!!
