    multiple desktops in windows with different backgrounds


    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/multiple-desktops-in-windows-36f52e38-5b4a-557b-2ff9-e1a60c976434#articleFooterSupportBridge=communityBridgeGives the option to use different backgrounds on the different backgrounds. I use this to tell them appart. I use one to work with confidential documents and another to co-work in teams. I don't want to share my confidential stuff in teams by mistake.One one PC of mine, this works like a charm, on the other all desktops change to the same picture, why is that ?

    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!

    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.

    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!
