    How to display screen saver on one monitor only?


    I have dual monitors, and I use the "Extend Monitors" function for work productivity. Unfortunately, when my screen saver begins I have a linked Photos file, the photos split between the two screens, so all my photos look like they are cut in two. I want my screen saver to display on only one monitor either Monitor 1 or 2, it does not matter to me. How can I do this?


    Thanks!

    :)

    Screen saver for dual monitors

    Well, problem solved - sort off! I have got it working via the Google Photos Screensaver. Different images appearing on the two monitors. The difficulty now is that the image is the correct size on the main monitor (3840 x 2160) but oversized on the secondary monitor (1920 x 1200). While images scale properly when displayed as desktop backgrounds, they don't on the smaller screen in screen saver mode.
    But that's a problem for another thread I think!

    In the meantime I'l have a look at your suggestion Barman.

    Thank you both

    Screen saver over dual monitors in windows 10

    Hi,

    One of the possible reasons why the screen saver shows only on one of your monitors is that you have an outdated graphics card. Please refer to this

    link
    for the steps on how you can update drivers in your Windows 10 PC. This link will also provide you the steps on how to reinstall drivers.

    You can try these steps if updating your graphics driver doesn't work:

    • Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
    • Type Display settings and click it.
    • The Customize your display window will appear. Under the Multiple displays option, choose
      Extend these displays.
    • Click Apply.
    • Check if both monitors now will show the screen saver.

    Post here the result for us to assist you further.

    Regards.
