  1. How can I change my desktop background for multiple displays?


    When choosing a picture for my background, having issues where it will only let me select "set for monitor 3" after right clicking an image for all 3 of my monitors. Previously was able to select 3 different images as follows: set for monitor 1, set for monitor 2, set for monitor 3. Please help! I have tried restarted, updating drivers, as well as restarting windows explorer in my task manager. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

    :)
