    Can someone identify this background process?


    Hi, I'm just going through my background processes in Task Manager and there is something I cannot identify and Google search resulted in nothing; the name of the process is SHA1:0xaf1a342b, I was suspecting I have some kind of a keylogger, could this be related?

    :)

  3. background (wallpaper) seems to be hung


    I see on my background a picture from a series of pictures I wanted for a slide show. Went to Settings/Personalization/Backgrond and followed the steps once upon a time and I think it worked? Anyway, now the app appears to be hung and I don't know how to get it working. I've tried going through the settings and can change the background (behind the slideshow) color but nothing else. I found your forum and tried many of the ideas suggested to no avail. Can someone suggest how to get it working again?

    Can someone identify this background process?

    Different Backgrounds on each monitor

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand that you are unable to set different wallpapers on each monitors.



    We would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and see if that helps.



    Method 1: Identify Displays.



    Try using the Identify option to identify the displays and then check if you can set different background. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + I, to open
      Settings
      .
    2. Click on System, and select
      Display
      on the left pane.
    3. Now, under Rearrange your displays, click on
      Identify to identify the displays.


    Refer screenshot below:

    Once the displays are identified as Monitor 1 and Monitor 2, try setting the background.



    Method 2: Duplicating Displays



    One other thing we can try is to set the displays to Duplicate first and then Extend them.



    To Duplicate the Displays, press Windows key + P, and select
    Duplicate. Follow the same steps and select Extend.



    After Extending the displays, check if we get the option to set different backgrounds.



    Method 3: Reinstall Display Drivers.



    If Method 1 and 2 didn’t help, we can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Display Drivers. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + X, and select
      Device Manager.
    2. Expand Display adapters.
    3. Now, right click on the Display
      device
      and select Uninstall Device.
    4. Once the device is uninstalled, click on Actions and select
      Scan for hardware changes.
    5. Restart the computer.


    Let us know the results.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare
