    Screensaver slideshow does not display correctly whith dual monitors set to "extend desktop"

    The images will be repositioned in the Windows Screensaver based on the aspect ratios. Also, if the pictures are taken as portrait and not Landscape they will never fill the entire screen of the screensaver and the result would be a visible display offset.

    We suggest that you check the desktop resolution to correct this, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Right click in an open area on your desktop, select Display Setings.
    • Under Display, click on
      Advanced display settings.
    • Try to change the resolution and click on
      Apply
      and on Keep changes.

    We also suggest that you check if this issue also occurs using a different user account.

    Kindly get back to us so we can assist you further.

      .
    • Once in safe mode, right-click the desktop > Screen Resolution.
