    Show screensaver on both of dual displays run from different adapters?


    I have done a bit of searching here for 'screensaver dual/multiple monitors', etc., but did not find much on point.

    I am using a Dell XPS8920 with onboard Intel HD Graphics 630, and a AMD Radeon RX560 card installed. Each adapter is connected via HDMI output to a separate display at 1920x1080 resolution, and the multiple displays are in extended mode. I do most work and all settings on the main display (off the Radeon), but the Photos screensaver will only display on the secondary display (off the onboard Intel HD 630), while blanking the primary. 3D Text, Bubbles, Mystify, and Ribbons all leave the secondary display on, while showing only on the primary. Blank screensaver blanks both displays.

    Is there any rhyme or reason here that I am missing? I would like to have the Photos output to both displays...

    :)

    Screensaver slideshow does not display correctly whith dual monitors set to "extend desktop"

    The images will be repositioned in the Windows Screensaver based on the aspect ratios. Also, if the pictures are taken as portrait and not Landscape they will never fill the entire screen of the screensaver and the result would be a visible display offset.

    We suggest that you check the desktop resolution to correct this, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Right click in an open area on your desktop, select Display Setings.
    • Under Display, click on
      Advanced display settings.
    • Try to change the resolution and click on
      Apply
      and on Keep changes.

    We also suggest that you check if this issue also occurs using a different user account.

    Kindly get back to us so we can assist you further.

    Screensaver slideshow does not display correctly whith dual monitors set to "extend desktop"

    Objective: I have dual monitors (as an extended desktop, side by side) and want it to show my own pictures as a screensaver slideshow in Windows 10.

    Problem: Only the lower half ot the picture is diplayes in the top half of monitor 1. Monitor 2 is black.

    Addtional observations:

    • In "Screen Saver Settings" the small mock-up display looks fine, however when i select "Preview" the problem with only half the picture displayed occurs also in the preview.
    • The problem does not occur with only one monitor in use
    • The problem does not occur with dual monitors set to "Duplicate these displays"

    Gratefull for all suggestions to solve the problem

    The same picture also work fine as desctop background with different pictures displayed on each monitor.
