  1. My second screen displays only Taskbar and Wallpaper


    I work on the PC that runs Windows 10. I want to ask you about a problem with screen sharing. My second screen suddenly (I didn’t change anything) started to display incorrectly. I can see only Taskbar and Wallpaper. It doesn’t depend on the real display and on the monitor connection. I mean HDMI cable or Wireless connection. I tried to change settings in the Multiple Display (Duplicate, Extend, or Show only on 2) but it didn’t help.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 only displays Taskbar and Wallpaper on 2nd screen

    Windows 10 has suddenly stopped incorrectly displaying the mirrored image on my 2nd screen - the only sections of the display that are being mirrored are the Taskbar and Wallpaper, regardless of what is being displayed.

    This happens regardless of how the 2nd monitor is connected (HDMI cable or Wireless), or the Multiple Display setting chosen (Duplicate, Extend, or Show only on 2).

    unable to change the lock screen Wallpaper.

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.


    • What is the exact issue that you are facing?

    • Are you facing issues while trying to change the lock screen Wallpaper?

    • Are you not able to choose the directory where the wallpapers has been saved?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to restart the computer and check if you are able to successfully change the lock screen wallpaper.


    • From Desktop, right click and select
      Personalize
      .

    • In Personalization window, click on
      Lock Screen
      in the left pane.

    • And choose wallpaper you would like to apply for the lock screen by choosing the browse option.

    • Close the Personalization window.
