screen saver on dual monitors

this question was asked in January and has not been answered:windows 10 programs and apps work fine, my problem is the screen saver mode. I have dual monitor images but when the screen saver starts it only shows on the main monitor not
the second one. How do I stretch the image to both screens. again the background mode is fine but not in screen saver mode.

to clarify:

-windows 10 installed

-two monitors

-screen saver (own photo gallery) only shows on one monitor

-second monitor is black

I'm using a screensaver that worked fine - it even showed different photos on each screen from the same photo folder - until windows update in the last few weeks.

the question is:

How to get a screensaver to show on BOTH monitors, not just one, on windows 10.
