    Dual monitor set up with desktop Windows 11. Windows randomly not detecting the main screen


    This has happened a few times now...about once a week and then it's fine again. Not sure if it's a software or hardware issues, as I have recently had to replace motherboard, upgrade to Windows 11 and get a new main monitor all at once.I have a dual monitor setup. Sometimes at start up, W11 only recognises my second monitor and when I try "auto connect"...nothing. THe main screen says "no video input" or similar type wording. When this first happened, I unplugged all the connections and restarted numerous times, but nothing. It wasn't until I switched the power off at the wall and waited 3

    Can't set different wallpaper on a dual monitor setup.

    Okay I had the same problem so can you report the bug for me since my PC doesn't let me but basically with windows 11 you can change the wallpaper for each desktop but for some reason you can't change the the monitor wallpaper unless you get rid of all the desktops then you have the option to change per monitor.

    Steps to fix

    1. Windows button + TAB
    2. get rid of all the desktops at the bottom of the screen but 1
    3. go to your background setting, right click on a picture and wala it now says monitor instead of Desktop
    Please report it for me and replay to me if it works.
