  2. How to make pic fit the lock screen?

    Hi Paul,

    In order to see your lockscreen wallpapers in full view, the image itself must match with the aspect ratio of your monitor. If the image resolution exceeded the dimension size of your monitor, it would unlikely fit on your monitor screen. You need to edit
    and resize your image until if fits on your screen. To do this, follow the steps below:

    Step 1 - Reduce the image size by following these steps:

    • Locate the image that you want to set as your lock screen wallpaper.
    • Right-click the image, then click Edit. I will launch
      Paint
      .
    • Click Home.
    • Click Resize. Make sure that Maintain aspect ratio is checked.
    • Reduced the percentage size by changing the Horizontal and Vertical until you determine that it will fit on your lock screen.

    Step 2 - Edit the image to fit in your lockscreen by perform the steps below:

    • Press Windows + S to open Search Box.
    • Type Photos, then click it to launch this application.
    • Locate the image that you want to edit.
    • Click the image.
    • Press Ctrl + E to start editing.
    • Click Crop.
    • On the top right, click the Aspect ratio menu.
    • Click Lockscreen.
    • Click the check sign to apply changes.
    • Press Ctrl + S to save the image.

    There is no shrink or expand image option available in Lockscreen settings since Windows 10 can already automatically resize the image to fit on your screen.

    Let us know if the resolution above works for you.
     
  3. Multiple monitors wallpaper keeps resetting

    Hello Steven. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

    Docking stations can cause these issues. Ask yourself if you definitely need one, since they're really only useful if you need to grab and take a laptop out regularly which is plugged into multiple printers and monitors. A direct connection from that same laptop to the monitors will be more stable. This may not be possible, but it is often the easiest solution if you can do without it.

    Try these methods for setting and troubleshooting multi monitor separate wallpapers:

    https://beebom.com/how-set-different-wallpaper-...

    https://www.tomsguide.com/how-to/how-to-set-sep...

    Windows 11 will not allow you to set per-monitor wallpapers if you use more than one virtual desktop:

    For more advanced help I'd ask in the best online forums for multiple monitors here from Display Fusion: Discussions • DisplayFusion by Binary Fortress Software. They have software that can solve most problems that WIndows cannot, often know how to solve it without software.

    Feel free to ask back any questions. Based on detailed results you post back I will have other suggestions if necessary.

    Wallpaper with multiple monitors

    Hi Bandalo,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand that you are unable to select different wallpaper for each display in Extend display mode.

    There might be some issues with system files or viruses, which is not allowing you to select different wallpapers

    Please perform some of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps:

    Method 1: Update/Install the Display Adapter driver.

    If the issue still persists, I suggest you to install/update the Display Adapter driver.

    Steps to install the drivers for the Display Adapter.

    • Press Windows + R keys from the keyboard to open Run command.
    • In Run window type devmgmt.msc.
    • Then in device manager right click on Display Adapter.
    • Try to update the drivers from the option stating automatically update the drivers.
    • If it works fine otherwise try to search for the drivers with the help of model number of your computer from the Manufacturer’s website.

    Method 2: Please try to run SFC Scan on your computer to check all system files are working fine or not.

    In order to run System File Checker (SFC) you can follow the steps provided in the following link:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833


    (Applies to Windows 10 as well)

    After completion of this scan please restart computer and then check the status of your computer.
