    Needing help with dual-monitor wallpaper


    Ok, so I have a Dual-Monitor Set up, as i'm sure a lot of people here do. I have 2 separate wallpapers. One for each monitor. They keep changing. I do not want them to change. I have tried registry edits, and looked through the Settings, but can't seem to get it to stay. Can someone point me to the right direction?

    :)

  2. Dual Monitor Wallpaper

    Running Windows 10, version 1607, OS Build 14393.576.

    Immediately after swapping from Windows 8 to 10, dual monitors with separate wallpaper was not a problem. After one of the updates, the ability to choose separate wallpaper for each monitor has been lost.

    I am unable to select different wallpaper for each monitor. Right clicking on the desktop and selecting "Personalise" brings up a settings window with the "Background" highlighted. There is a preview at the top of the page, "Picture" is selected for Background,
    and just below is a selection of images. Right clicking on
    any image gives the same result of "Set as desktop background", no other options.

    Bringing up the run box and entering "control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper" brings up the (control panel/all control panel items/personalisation/desktop background). Right clicking on
    any image gives the same result of "Set as desktop background", no other options.

    Any ideas?
