Windows 10: Unable to set diffirent wallpaper for each display after updating Windows Photos

Hello

About a week ago I set diffirent wallpaper for each screen on my Windows 10. This morning I noticed that each screen has the same wallpaper and I'm not able to set wallpaper for each display separately anymore. After searching for the cause I noticed that Windows Photos updated itself the day before this bug occured and tought that these events might be connected.

EDIT:
So I uninstalled Windows Photos App form my computer as described here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ndows-10/1b11de85-271d-48c5-884c-64da277c3151. Lo and behold, multiple wallpaper per display feature came back. But now I don't have photo viewer app on my Windows machine.

Pretty please fix the feature.

Setting Wallpaper in Windows 10

I want to change my Wallpaper on the Windows 10 Computer daily.

I use a photo from a file or email. The photo opens in the Windows Photo Viewer and there is an option to "Set as Background". That all works. But, it always makes the default format "Full". I then have to go to "Personalization" to revert it to "Fit",
so that I can see the whole photo. Windows 8.1 defaulted to "Fit" and did not have to include this extra step.

How can I set the default display for background to "Fit"? There is no setting that I can find to do this, permanently.

 

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.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

 

Unable to set Photoscape as Default Photo Viewer

I understand Photoscape to be a desktop program - not a universal app. It's not recommended for Win 10- see below.

It is not listed in
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs

You could associate individual file types thus:




- or via Open With and browse to Photoscape.

It seems it does not register itself as being able to handle the relevant file types.

A quick impression suggests it's a bit out of date.

indeed- you are directed to use Photoscape X (not free) for Win 10, not Photoscape v3.7.
