    Setting different Backgrounds for Dual Monitors in Windows 10


    Hi All,
    If you have a dual monitors and want to set a different background for each. You don't need third party program to set them. Here's an easy way:
    1. Copy the background images to: C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows

    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

    Setting different Backgrounds for Dual Monitors in Windows 10


    Naw, OP is just confused and is (ab)using) Slideshow to set Single Picture mode. Cyberghost's post here:

    * Setting different Backgrounds for Dual Monitors in Windows 10

    lets you stay out of Slideshow mode but still set a picture for monitor via right-clicking on the particular images you want in that interface.

    They also added this feature to the 'normal' Settings page in Windows Insider beta build 10525.
