    Still cannot have different backgrounds for Virtual Desktops

    First off; I H A T E it when people start off with "I understand your frustration, and I apologize for any inconvenience you’re experiencing". NO YOU DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SECONDLY. DID YOU READ MY POST?????????????????????????????????????

    I SAID "I am on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.3007] and I cannot set different backgrounds."

    THIRDLY. I said that I knew how to do it BUT IT DOSEN'T WORK.

    NOTHING IN YOUR VERY LONG-WINDED RESPONSE IS OF ANY USE AND IS EXACTLY WHY I POSTED. EVERYONE ELSE GETS THE SAME RESPONSE AND IT DOSEN'T WORK.
