  1. Dual monitor screen-saver issue (not wallpaper... SCREENSAVER)


    I've been trying to get my PC to display screensavers on both screens but Windows said "Hahaha nope u suck" and it just isn't possible with their software. I decided to compromise and I just wanted to switch my screensaver from the left monitor to the right. However, whichever monitor is the primary one is irrelevant because it will always start the screensaver on whichever is the left-most monitor.

    This is extremely frustrating and has left me mad at Microsoft for their crappy OS that can't do something as simple as this...

    Are there any tips for getting around this huge design flaw?

  3. screen saver on dual monitors

    this question was asked in January and has not been answered:windows 10 programs and apps work fine, my problem is the screen saver mode. I have dual monitor images but when the screen saver starts it only shows on the main monitor not
    the second one. How do I stretch the image to both screens. again the background mode is fine but not in screen saver mode.

    to clarify:

    -windows 10 installed

    -two monitors

    -screen saver (own photo gallery) only shows on one monitor

    -second monitor is black

    I'm using a screensaver that worked fine - it even showed different photos on each screen from the same photo folder - until windows update in the last few weeks.

    the question is:

    How to get a screensaver to show on BOTH monitors, not just one, on windows 10.
