  From Desktop, right click and select
  Personalize.

  In Personalization window, click on
  Lock Screen in the left pane.

Wallpaper setting reverts to Center when changing to new wallpaper

Hi Fereidoun,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while setting up wallpaper on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
   
2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
   
3. Have you tried setting a wallpaper with lower resolution ratio?
   

Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and see if that helps.



Method 1:



Try clearing the wallpaper cache and see if the issue persists.

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
   Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run’
   
2. In Run dialog box, type appdata and hit
   Enter.
   
3. Double-click on
   Roaming folder.
   
4. Now open Microsoft folder and then
   Windows folder.
   
5. Double-click on
   Themes folder.
   
6. Right click on TranscodedWallpaper and click on
   Delete.
   
7. Try setting the wallpaper again.
   

Method 2:



Create a new user account to isolate the issue related to user account corruption. Refer the article

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10



Let us know how it goes.

how do I save different wallpapers on different monitors, I tried to follow the procedure in settings but it doesn't work, only same wallpaper for all screens even if I right click and chose a monitor

Hello，Bernard Tolley F



Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.



According to your need to save different wallpapers on different monitors, I have tested it, and you can realise the function of displaying different wallpapers on different monitors when you close the virtual desktop.

Please press "Win + Tab" to close the other virtual desktops, then right-click on the desktop, click "Personalise", right-click on the wallpaper image, and set wallpapers for different desktops.

• Create a new account and keep the virtual desktops closed, check if the problem exists under the new account, please refer to the steps of creating a new account: Create a local user or administrator account in Windows - Microsoft Support
  

• To confirm if the issue can be affected by third-party software, you can perform a clean boot to see if third-party software has compromised your system's components. For clean boot steps, see: How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support
  

Exemption: "Clean Boot" boots Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps you determine if a background service is interfering with your game or program and isolate the cause of the problem.These "clean boot" steps may seem complicated at first glance. However, to avoid problems, follow them in order and step by step to help you get back on track.

If after the above steps the problem still exists, we consider that it is a system level problem, the step is more complicated, you can reply me in the thread, I will provide you with specific steps. Give it a try and feel free to contact me in the forums with any developments.
