    Multiple Desktops - Can't set a different desktop background image uniquely for each Desktop


    When I follow the instruction given on the Microsoft Support website linked below, changing my Desktop background picture on any one Desktop causes all six of my Desktops take on that same new picture. I need a different background on each Desktop to help me very quickly distinguish between each Desktop. This support article on the Microsoft Support website states it is possible to have a different Desktop background image on each Desktop when using multiple Desktops. Under the heading 'Multiple desktops in Windows', Windows 11:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/multiple-desktops-

  2. Different Background for Multiple Desktops

    Is there any way to make each desktop a unique color/picture when using multiple desktops in Windows 10? Right now the same background is across all three active desktops. I work with different testing environments and would like to make them easy to discern
    at a glance. Thanks!

  3. Different Background for Multiple Desktops

    __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Hi! Thanks for the response! I appreciate it.

    I probably should have a been a bit more descriptive though. I do have two monitors, and on these two monitors, I have 3 different desktops set up. I did this by clicking on the "Task View" button on the taskbar and adding 2 new desktops for a total of three.
    My goal is to have the same background color on both monitors for each separate desktop...For example, both monitors have a background of blue on desktop 1, both monitors have grey on desktop 2, and both monitors have red for desktop 3. Hope this makes sense,
    and thank you for your help!

    Hi RobertRouse,

    I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

    It is not possible to set different desktop backgrounds on multiple desktops.

    You can always leave a suggestion on the Feedback Hub to add features to Windows. you can find the Feedback Hub n the Start Menu or using the shortcut Windows + F.
