  1. How to setup a website as wallpaper ?


    Is there any way to setup a website as a wallpaper like active desktop back in the days ?

    It would be quite cool to setup a localserver which can display stuff from various apis or even display local stuff like cpu/gpu/network metrics.

    I know it was removed for security issues but if you're the one creating your own localserver I see no issues there.

    I tried rainmeter but it doesn't seem able to do it. Maybe wallpaper engine would work but hasn't tested it yet since it's paid.

    I also know that it's possible to do it by setting a webview (using the edge one for better perfs) between the desktop and the wallpaper through win_api, but you'll lose interactivity (though hacks like tracking mouse could work), but I'll prefer to avoid starting from scratch, even if it does not seems too difficult as per say.

    Any ideas/suggestions ?

  3. Wallpaper with multiple monitors

    Hi Bandalo,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand that you are unable to select different wallpaper for each display in Extend display mode.

    There might be some issues with system files or viruses, which is not allowing you to select different wallpapers

    Please perform some of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps:

    Method 1: Update/Install the Display Adapter driver.

    If the issue still persists, I suggest you to install/update the Display Adapter driver.

    Steps to install the drivers for the Display Adapter.

    • Press Windows + R keys from the keyboard to open Run command.
    • In Run window type devmgmt.msc.
    • Then in device manager right click on Display Adapter.
    • Try to update the drivers from the option stating automatically update the drivers.
    • If it works fine otherwise try to search for the drivers with the help of model number of your computer from the Manufacturer’s website.

    Method 2: Please try to run SFC Scan on your computer to check all system files are working fine or not.

    In order to run System File Checker (SFC) you can follow the steps provided in the following link:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833


    (Applies to Windows 10 as well)
