  1. Personalize Desktop Settings no longer giving me the option to select different backgrounds...


    Just what the title says. Used to be if I right clicked one of the options for wallpapers, it would give me options "Set as background for Monitor 1," "Set as background for Monitor 2," etc... But now I only get "Set as Desktop Background" and it applies to all monitors.
