  1. screen saver on dual monitors


    this question was asked in January and has not been answered:windows 10 programs and apps work fine, my problem is the screen saver mode. I have dual monitor images but when the screen saver starts it only shows on the main monitor not the second one. How do I stretch the image to both screens. again the background mode is fine but not in screen saver mode.


    to clarify:

    -windows 10 installed

    -two monitors

    -screen saver (own photo gallery) only shows on one monitor

    -second monitor is black


    I'm using a screensaver that worked fine - it even showed different photos on each screen from the same photo folder - until windows update in the last few weeks.


    the question is:

    How to get a screensaver to show on BOTH monitors, not just one, on windows 10.

    :)

    Screen saver with dual monitors

    As the title indicates, I use dual monitors and am trying to set up my screen saver to show a slideshow. When I do this, the pictures appear on the seam between the monitors. Is there anyway to change it so they only appear on the main monitor?
