    Screen saver (photos) shows half on each monitor

    Windows 11. Extended dual monitor system.

    Screen saver is set to show photos. Photos show split across the center of 2 monitors.

    This is a recent change (I don't know why) - used to only show on main monitor, fill the screen, and secondary monitor was left blank - which would be just fine.

    Suggestions on how to get back to the way it was?? or at least improve the way it looks??

    thx,

    Screen saver over dual monitors in windows 10

    Hi,

    One of the possible reasons why the screen saver shows only on one of your monitors is that you have an outdated graphics card. Please refer to this

    link
    for the steps on how you can update drivers in your Windows 10 PC. This link will also provide you the steps on how to reinstall drivers.

    You can try these steps if updating your graphics driver doesn't work:

    • Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
    • Type Display settings and click it.
    • The Customize your display window will appear. Under the Multiple displays option, choose
      Extend these displays.
    • Click Apply.
    • Check if both monitors now will show the screen saver.

    Post here the result for us to assist you further.

    Regards.
