    Multiple monitors wallpaper keeps resetting


    I'm running Windows 11 and I have a laptop hooked up to 3 monitors. On each monitor I have different wallpapers but every time I restart or unplug the laptop from the docking station and plug it back it, the wallpapers reset to 1 wallpaper for all three monitors and I have to go back into settings to apply the wallpapers how I want them. How can I fix this?

    :)

    Wallpaper with multiple monitors

    I have tried both methods, and had zero success.

    I do not see how resetting the Windows Store cache will correct a problem with changing my wallpaper.

    I do agree with the previous poster who said the apps are missing basic features. With his workaround I can change my wallpaper on both monitors. Both suggestions provided by "Microsoft Support Engineers" have not even properly addressed the question and
    simply provided cut-and-paste answers.

  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)

    After completion of this scan please restart computer and then check the status of your computer.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
