Windows 10: Some Old Wallpapers Keep Displaying

Hi Community,Contrarily to other posts that I've looked, I'm having the reverse issue: I keep getting annoyed by older wallpapers that I once set, part of a slideshow folder.In spite of setting a different folder for new wallpapers, I'm now getting a mix of older and newer wallpapers, as if it was the "sum" of both sets, know what I mean?Where do you think the older wallpapers are stored? I'd like to delete them.Thank you.

Wallpaper with multiple monitors

Hi Bandalo,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand that you are unable to select different wallpaper for each display in Extend display mode.

There might be some issues with system files or viruses, which is not allowing you to select different wallpapers

Please perform some of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps:

Method 1: Update/Install the Display Adapter driver.

If the issue still persists, I suggest you to install/update the Display Adapter driver.

Steps to install the drivers for the Display Adapter.

• Press Windows + R keys from the keyboard to open Run command.
• In Run window type devmgmt.msc.
• Then in device manager right click on Display Adapter.
• Try to update the drivers from the option stating automatically update the drivers.
• If it works fine otherwise try to search for the drivers with the help of model number of your computer from the Manufacturer’s website.

Method 2: Please try to run SFC Scan on your computer to check all system files are working fine or not.

In order to run System File Checker (SFC) you can follow the steps provided in the following link:

(Applies to Windows 10 as well)

After completion of this scan please restart computer and then check the status of your computer.
