    Assuming you have 2 monitors. A simple way to set different background for each monitor is as follows:
    • Navigate to C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
    • Rename the first jpg background to: Transcoded_000 with no file extension for the first monitor
    • Rename the second jpg file to: Transcoded_001 with no file extension for the second monitor
    • sign out and sign back in.
