    Second monitor wallpaper resets wallpaper on startup


    On startup, my second monitor wallpaper always changes to the wallpaper on my main wallpaper. This happens until I go on rearrange displays and move it slightly and click apply, which then displays the intended wallpaper on the second display. However, currently I have to mess around with the display settings every single time i startup the pc, which is proving to be very annoying.

    Wallpaper with multiple monitors

    I have tried both methods, and had zero success.

    I do not see how resetting the Windows Store cache will correct a problem with changing my wallpaper.

    I do agree with the previous poster who said the apps are missing basic features. With his workaround I can change my wallpaper on both monitors. Both suggestions provided by "Microsoft Support Engineers" have not even properly addressed the question and
    simply provided cut-and-paste answers.

    Wallpapers for dual monitors

    Hello, I've noticed a problem recently, I have two monitors, and used to have two wallpapers on both of them (a different wallpaper on each monitor), I haven't changed my wallpaper in a long time, to set a specific wallpaper for each monitor you'd usually
    go to Settings, background, find the wallpaper you want and right click and select (set for monitor 1) or (set for monitor 2), however, it seems like monitor 1 isn't there anymore, instead there is (set for monitor 2) repeated twice, selecting either of the
    options will set the wallpaper I chose on both monitors rather than just monitor 2, is there any way to fix this? Windows does recognize that I have two monitors and does set one of them as 1 and the other as 2 as shown here:

    But when I go to change wallpapers, it just shows it like this:

    Ever since I got a 2nd monitor, this has never been an issue, it always used to say "Set for all monitors", "Set for monitor 1" and "Set for monitor 2" as the options, I don't know when this changed to being both monitor 2

    Dual monitor separate wallpapers

    I am trying to get different wallpapers on both of my monitors however when i right click the images in settings 3 options come up, one saying set for all monitors, and the other two say set for monitor 2, there is no set for monitor 1 option in the list.
