  1. Dual-Monitor Background Images - 99% Show Separate Images, 1% Span Both Monitors


    A couple months back I started using a second monitor with my Windows 10 laptop. I set the background to slideshow and the the fit to "Fit." I have it pointed at a folder with a couple hundred images. Almost all of them work perfectly, with separate images on each screen. But 2 of them span, so that the top of the image is on the "top" screen and the bottom of it is on the "bottom" screen.

    :)

  2. Dual Monitor Background Spanning Problems Windows 10 Pro

    I have a folder with multiple images that cycle through my background on two monitors:

    1 is a Dell 24" attached via DisplayPort

    2 is a Wacom 24" Cintiq attached via DVI

    I recently switch over the Dell 24" to a DisplayPort from DVI. The backgrounds are set to Fit (each monitor with its own image) and cycle every 10 minutes. Since the change in cable, every once in a while, the backgrounds will decide to Span both monitors
    instead of Fit. How can I stop this?

  3. Dual Monitor Background Spanning Problems Windows 10 Pro

    If you go to Settings :: Personalization :: Background, is it actually in Span mode or is still in Fit mode? I'm guessing that the actual problem is that the monitor isn't enumerating correctly and the desktop slideshow code is seeing only one monitor at
    that time, and thus displaying the same image on both monitors.

    2. Use CTRL key for multiple selection to select both backgrounds.
    3. Right click on one background->Set as desktop background

    You should have a separate background for each monitor.

    The background images will be stored under:
    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
    as:
    Transcoded_000 and Transcoded_001 without extension

    If you want to swap the images, just rename 0 to 1, 1 to 0. Sign out and sign back in or
    right click on desktop and select: Next desktop background
