    Multiple Monitor backgrounds


    Hi,

    Earlier today I encountered an issue.
    I had 2 different backgrounds set for my 2 monitors. I went to change 1 of them to an 8k image and I assume windows didn't like that as it changed both backgrounds to a solid black colour then froze the settings window. I couldn't click anything. I did a computer restart and then went back to change my backgrounds where I found I could change it from solid colour to picture however, I could only set 1 image and it would be on both monitors rather than set 1 for 1 monitor and set another for the other monitor. Please can i get some help.

    Windows build 2004

    OS build 19041.388

    :)

    How can I change the background image individually to 6 monitors in Windows 10.

    Hi,

    The option to customize desktop background for multiple display on Windows 10 is hidden on the modern interface of the display settings. To open the old interface to customize your desktop background, follow these steps:

    • Press Windows + R key to open the run command window.
    • Type or copy and paste the command below to open the old Desktop Background
      interface window:

      control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper
    • Under the Choose your desktop background option, right-click on the image that you wish to set on the desired monitor.
    • Select the Set for monitor 1 to set it on your 1st display.
    • Repeat the steps to set your background for other monitors.

    Let us know should you need further assistance.

    (4K DP, 1440p DP, 1200p DVI-D) Triple monitor setup; 2 monitors have the same background when background is set to slideshow shuffle

    My setup:

    • CPU: Intel Core i7-3770
    • GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition, fully updated drivers
    • OS: Windows 10 Pro v1803, fully patched

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Connect the monitors as in the title
    2. Set wallpaper background to shuffle in Windows Settings

    What happens:

    2 of the monitors (always adjacent to each other) have the same background.

    What should happen:

    All 3 monitors should have different backgrounds.

    Anyone ever seen this before? Any ideas?

    i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

    Hi Ron,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
    • How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?
    I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:

    [Applies to Windows 10 as well]

    Regards.
