    Different Backgrounds on each monitor

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand that you are unable to set different wallpapers on each monitors.



    We would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and see if that helps.



    Method 1: Identify Displays.



    Try using the Identify option to identify the displays and then check if you can set different background. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + I, to open
      Settings      .
    2. Click on System, and select
      Display       on the left pane.
    3. Now, under Rearrange your displays, click on
      Identify to identify the displays.


    Refer screenshot below:

    Once the displays are identified as Monitor 1 and Monitor 2, try setting the background.



    Method 2: Duplicating Displays



    One other thing we can try is to set the displays to Duplicate first and then Extend them.



    To Duplicate the Displays, press Windows key + P, and select
    Duplicate. Follow the same steps and select Extend.



    After Extending the displays, check if we get the option to set different backgrounds.



    Method 3: Reinstall Display Drivers.



    If Method 1 and 2 didn’t help, we can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Display Drivers. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + X, and select
      Device Manager.
    2. Expand Display adapters.
    3. Now, right click on the Display
      device       and select Uninstall Device.
    4. Once the device is uninstalled, click on Actions and select
      Scan for hardware changes.
    5. Restart the computer.


    Let us know the results.



    Regards,

    How do I extend my background scenery across my 2 monitors

    Extending 2 Dell Monitors

    Hello!

    I am very technologically challenged, and I am trying to EXTEND (not mirror) my 2 desktop Dell monitors.

    My computer only has one vga port, and my monitors have hdmi cables.

    I bought a uGreen hdmi female to vga male adapter but I still can't figure it out.

    I am able to mirror them but not extend them as i'm wanting to do for my work.

    I looked in the display settings area, and it only shows one monitor, and it won't detect the 2nd one at all.

    If anyone could be so kind to do a STEP BY STEP instruction on how to set this up, i'd greatly appreciate it!!
