Windows 10: How to Set Different Screensavers / Animated Wallpapers for Multiple Monitors in Windows 10

January 14, 2021



Hi,



Does anyone know if it is possible to configure Windows 10 to have the following configuration?



Four monitors / TV connected to the same graphics card DVI, DP, HDMI, of the PC.

Monitor # 1 is the one for everyday work and does not have a screensaver or animated wallpaper.



On Monitor # 2 and # 3 there are two different screensavers.

On the TV screen there is another screen saver different from those placed on monitors # 2 and # 3.



If you know of any program or programs that can do this, I would like you to say so. Software likeActual Multiple Monitors https://www.actualtools.com/multiplemonitors/ andDisplayFusion https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/ do not work with this type of screensaver.





Thank you in advance and Happy New Year 2021!!!

Hi,

You can set different wallpapers for multiple monitors without having to install a third-party software. To do this, you can follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the empty area of desktop and then click Personalize.
• Under Choose your picture section, right-click on a picture which you want to set as a desktop background for one of your monitors. You will see a context menu, and you can select which monitor to use.
  
• You can also use the Browse button to browse to the picture you want to set as a wallpaper. Click
