    I can't set different wallpaper on a dual monitor setup.


    I want 2 different images as my background for my dual monitors, but whenever I right-click the image in personalization and click set to desktop 1 the button does nothing. I've tried closing every tab but settings and it didn't do anything, I've reset multiple times but nothing is working

    Can't set different wallpaper on a dual monitor setup.

    Okay I had the same problem so can you report the bug for me since my PC doesn't let me but basically with windows 11 you can change the wallpaper for each desktop but for some reason you can't change the the monitor wallpaper unless you get rid of all the desktops then you have the option to change per monitor.

    Steps to fix

    1. Windows button + TAB
    2. get rid of all the desktops at the bottom of the screen but 1
    3. go to your background setting, right click on a picture and wala it now says monitor instead of Desktop
    Please report it for me and replay to me if it works.

    Can't set different wallpaper on a dual monitor setup.

    Hello there,

    I have a dual monitor setup with one set on portrait(flipped) orientation. Whenever I go to Personalize -> Background -> Right Click a picture and "Set for Desktop 1", it sets the same wallpaper for both monitors. When I select "Set for Desktop 2, nothing happens.

    PLease help me with the issue. I am using Windows 11 and its up to date.
