Windows 10: Cannot set different wallpapers on Multiple Displays

Hi,I have windows 11 Education.I have gone through other posts but no solution is working for me.This is not a multiple desktop issue since I only use one.Basically I have 3 monitors; 2 in landscape 1 in portrait.When I go to personalize and right click on a background picture to choose from, it DOES NOT give me any option to set on display 1 or display 2.It only gives me the option to set as background.Is this feature limited to Home/Pro versions or is something else wrong here?Regards,

:)

Hi Ting. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

Here are a few things you can try, to set separate wallpapers for multi-monitor and different screen resolutions:

If none of those work I think you have the right idea to use Display Fusion which fills the gaps between what Windows can and cannot do. More about managing multiple monitors using Display Fusion here:

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:

(Applies to Windows 10 as well)

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

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
