Windows 10: Screensaver only showing on one monitor while using dual monitors in extend display

Hey, Microsoft! I need some help with my screensaver. I am running dual monitors on *extend display*. The Microsoft provided Bubbles, Ribbons, etc. work as normal on both monitors. However, when I choose a personal photo album, it only shows on one monitor. The photo album slideshow works as it should on *duplicate display* but I don't want this setting, I need it in *extend*. Putting a slideshow as the lock screen background doesn't solve this. Drivers are UTD. Please help a girl out!

:)

 

Screensaver slideshow does not display correctly whith dual monitors set to "extend desktop"

Objective: I have dual monitors (as an extended desktop, side by side) and want it to show my own pictures as a screensaver slideshow in Windows 10.

Problem: Only the lower half ot the picture is diplayes in the top half of monitor 1. Monitor 2 is black.

Addtional observations:

• In "Screen Saver Settings" the small mock-up display looks fine, however when i select "Preview" the problem with only half the picture displayed occurs also in the preview.
• The problem does not occur with only one monitor in use
• The problem does not occur with dual monitors set to "Duplicate these displays"

Gratefull for all suggestions to solve the problem

The same picture also work fine as desctop background with different pictures displayed on each monitor.

 

Screensaver slideshow does not display correctly whith dual monitors set to "extend desktop"

Hi, and thanks for the response.

To you questions:

• Yes the screensaver slideshow works perfectly when only one monitor is selected / available
• Yes, I've switched on and off several times, rebooted, etc, many times, with no effect.

I can also add that the “Background” wallpaper based on the same set of pictures works fine on both monitors with different pictures on each monitor. The problem is only realted to the Screensaver.



Furthermore, in the past when on Windows 8.1, the Screensaver worked well with dual monitors. Initially with the Screensaver being displayed on both monitors. After some Windows 8 update the second monitor went black while
monitor 1 showed the Screensaver slideshow as it should. (I see several others complained about loosing the picture on the second monitor)



However my problem is worse. In my case I only get HALF a picture on monitor 1 )and black screen on monitor 2). Photo attached.

Hi Tom,

Since you've already checked the Screen Saver Settings, kindly answer the following question for clarification:

• Have you tried turning off the second monitor while assigning the screensaver slideshow to the primary monitor?
• Have you tried disabling and re-enabling the screensaver?
  

We also suggest that you make the screensaver slideshow to appear first at the primary monitor properly before troubleshooting with the second monitor.

Kindly get back to us for clarification.
