Windows 10: Screen Saver on multi-monitor setup for Windows 11

I have multiple monitors and docking station. There are two separate systems running on the docking station controlled by a switch. One system is Window 10 Enterprise, the other is Windows 11 Home. Yes, I need to upgrade to Pro I also have an older Windows 10 Home system I plugged in where the 11 system is as a test. Both Windows 10 systems natively runs the screen saver on all the monitors and display different images on them. Windows 11 only runs on the primary monitor. There is no third party software on the 10 systems controlling the screen saver.When is Microsoft going to fix th

Dual monitor screen saver

My setup is a laptop and an external screen, I would like to have a screen saver on both monitors, when on the lock screen the same as what I see on the main monitor if that is possible.

I'm on Windows 11, and I've noticed on videos I watch on Youtube that they are able to have screen savers on both screens.

Thank you in advance.

Windows 10 KB3213986 Update Cripples Multi-monitor Gaming

The recent Cumulative Update for Windows 10 (KB3213986) cripples multi-monitor gaming, looking at the way Microsoft worded its "known issues" text. After the update is applied, users with multi-monitor setups could experience screen stuttering or clipped screens when running 3D apps on machines with more than one monitor. The only workaround Microsoft suggests for now entails running your 3D apps in non-fullscreen modes, such as windowed-maximized (pseudo-fullscreen) or windowed modes. Microsoft also goes as far as to suggest that people with multi-monitors could try starting their 3D apps with just one monitor connected.

"Users may experience delayed or clipped screens while running 3D rendering apps (such as games) on systems with more than one monitor," the change-log for the KB3213986 update reads. "To work around this issue please consider the following options: 1. Running the application in Windows mode (not full screen), or 2. Starting the application with only one monitor connected," it adds. The update effectively cripples multi-monitor gaming, using technologies such as AMD Eyefinity or NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround.
