Windows 10: How to set up monitors so that one monitor only shows desktop backgroind until a slide show...

With my old laptop now scrapped I could arrange for a display monitor or a projector to only show the laptop background until my slideshow began in presentation mode. With my new laptop I can not stop it showing/projrcting what is on my laptop screen until the presentation begins. What am I doing wrong?

Set desktop background to slide show a different image per monitor.


Hi all,

Shortly after I upgraded to Win 10 I went to the control panel to set up my desktop background to slide show through a specific folder of images. This worked fine but had an unexpected side effect; each one of my monitors (I've 3) showed a different image from the slide show. Right clicking on the desktop and choosing "Next desktop background" would change just one monitor's image, doing it again would change another and doing it again would change the third.

As I said this was unexpected as I was on Win 7 previously where the monitors always showed the same image in the slide show. However I decided I liked the effect and left it at that. When I restarted my machine I found it had returned to the old Win 7 behaviour; same image on each monitor and using the "Next desktop background" option changed all the monitors to the same new image. No I could find no way to return to the other behaviour until I restarted again and found it had returned of it's own accord.

I have since restarted multiple times and now seem to be stuck with the Win 7 behaviour with the added note that the backgrounds are changing more often than they should. They are set to a 30 minute interval and they generally stick to that but as I wrote that last sentence they changed twice in quick succession (about 5 seconds apart...).

Ideally I would like to get back to having a different slide show on each monitor. Anyone know how?

Thanks in advance!

 

Windows 10 Lock Screen Slide show only shows on 1 monitor

Windows 10 pro clean install.

I have configured the lock screen to a slide show. However, The images are only showing on the primary monitor and not the secondary.

In W8.1 the slide show displayed on both.

Where is the setting to fix this?

TIA

I would like to inform you that, theme slide show cannot be done on windows 10. However after applying a theme you can create a desktop background slide show.

To create a desktop background slide show follow the steps below:

• 
  Right click on the blank space on Desktop.
  
• 
  From the menu select Personalize.
  
• 
  On the windows, click on the
  background.
  
• 
  From the drop down menu select slide show.
  
• 
  Browse the albums that you want to set as slide show.
  
• 
  Follow the on screen instructions.
  

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have any further related query.
