    Unable to set up 2 different wallpapers on my dual monitor set up on Windows 11.


    Hello! I have been trying to find a workaround without having to install a separate application to have two separate wallpapers for my dual monitor setup. I have one landscape and one portrait, and any time I try to change the wallpaper for one, it changes it for both. I have tried the Desktop delete option to have only one active desktop, and it still does not allow me to change for each individual monitor. After I Right Click the picture I would like to set as monitor background, it only shows "Set for all monitors, 2, 2". It does not show to set for monitor 1 or monitor 2. I have updated my

    Can't set different wallpaper on a dual monitor setup.

    Okay I had the same problem so can you report the bug for me since my PC doesn't let me but basically with windows 11 you can change the wallpaper for each desktop but for some reason you can't change the the monitor wallpaper unless you get rid of all the desktops then you have the option to change per monitor.

    Steps to fix

    1. Windows button + TAB
    2. get rid of all the desktops at the bottom of the screen but 1
    3. go to your background setting, right click on a picture and wala it now says monitor instead of Desktop
    Please report it for me and replay to me if it works.

    Unable to set up 2 different wallpapers on my dual monitor set up on Windows 11.

    Can't set different wallpaper on a dual monitor setup.

    Hello there,

    I have a dual monitor setup with one set on portrait(flipped) orientation. Whenever I go to Personalize -> Background -> Right Click a picture and "Set for Desktop 1", it sets the same wallpaper for both monitors. When I select "Set for Desktop 2, nothing happens.

    PLease help me with the issue. I am using Windows 11 and its up to date.
