    Cant get wallpaper to span dual monitor

    My desktop extends both monitors (set to "extend these displays") but I cant get wallpaper to span dual monitors. It only duplicates. When I right click on the wallpaper picture I only get "set as desktop background." I dont get an option to select which monitor.

    Windows 11

    Two monitors connected to rx580 via displayports

    Cant get wallpaper to span dual monitor

    Hi Omar, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

    Have you set it to "Span"? This will allow the wallpaper to spread out on both monitors. Go to Settings > Personalization > Background > Choose a fit for your desktop image and set it to Span. Also, make sure the resolution of the wallpaper is correct and has the exact, if not more, width of both displays.

    Spanning wallpaper across multiple monitors is not centered vertically

    Slideshow wallpaper displaying as span when set to fit

    I have my wallpaper setting running as a slideshow on Windows 10 set to Fit. I'm fine with displaying different images on each monitor, but after a little while it will start displaying only one centered between the monitors as though it's set to Span.
    As soon as I open the Settings app to fix it, the background resets itself and goes back to working correctly. Any solutions would be helpful.
