Windows 10: Can't Set Background for Each Virtual Desktop

I just reinstalled Windows 11 on my system. Since the reinstall, I cannot set individual backgrounds for each virtual desktop. Right-click on the desktop, choose background, sets that background for all virtual desktops. Anyone know a fix?

Global Background for all virtual Desktops

Hello people

Separate backgrounds for every virtual Desktop is causing issues with wallpaper engine and I want a global background for every virtual Desktop. So basically when changing the background, that the background for every Desktop is changed. Global changes, is that possible?
