Different Background for Multiple Desktops

Multiple monitors is so common these days, why does it take a google search to figure out how to have different background images on each monitor? Even then, most of the results didn't get you into the old control panel function and you can't turn off the
slide show function.

Please, in a future update, make it easy to have different static background images on each monitor. This was easy in the past, it should be even easier now.

 

Different Backgrounds on each monitor

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that you are unable to set different wallpapers on each monitors.



We would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and see if that helps.



Method 1: Identify Displays.



Try using the Identify option to identify the displays and then check if you can set different background. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on System, and select
   Display on the left pane.
   
3. Now, under Rearrange your displays, click on
   Identify to identify the displays.
   

Refer screenshot below:









Once the displays are identified as Monitor 1 and Monitor 2, try setting the background.



Method 2: Duplicating Displays



One other thing we can try is to set the displays to Duplicate first and then Extend them.



To Duplicate the Displays, press Windows key + P, and select
Duplicate. Follow the same steps and select Extend.



After Extending the displays, check if we get the option to set different backgrounds.



Method 3: Reinstall Display Drivers.



If Method 1 and 2 didn’t help, we can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Display Drivers. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Display adapters.
   
3. Now, right click on the Display
   device and select Uninstall Device.
   
4. Once the device is uninstalled, click on Actions and select
   Scan for hardware changes.
   
5. Restart the computer.
   

Let us know the results.

Different Slideshow Backgrounds on Multiple Monitors

Hi,

I'm using 2 monitors on the "Extend" mode, and I want to set for each screen a different background slideshow, each running independently

(instead of the same slideshow and each picture divided between the monitors).

How can it be done?

Thanks.
