    Wallpaper across both monitors stopped working.


    Last night, I updated my computer because it doesn't stay in sleep mode when there is an update available for some reason. Anyways, this afternoon when I got on my computer, my background is no longer displayed across both of my monitors. It used to stretch across both screens but no matter which fit I choose in the background settings it doesn't work. The picture hasn't changed, my monitors are exactly the same, nor have I gotten new monitors since I updated it last night, so I know that my background should have a high enough resolution. It seems like it just decided to quit working for some

  2. How to display different slideshow wallpapers (backgrounds) on each monitor

    I followed those steps. When right-clicking on the image to select a monitor, I get:

    • Set for all monitors
    • Set for monitor 4
    • Set for monitor 4
    • Set for monitor 4
    • Set for monitor 4

  3. Multiple wallpapers randomly stop working

    So, I have my laptop step up with two external monitors in addition to the laptop screen, and I have set different wallpapers to each of the monitors as well as a custom color scheme. I have saved this look as my "standard" theme. When resuming from sleep
    or hibernation, however, at least 25% of the time my monitors will not be in the correct wallpaper and a new, unsaved theme will appear in the personalization menu. And when I click on my saved "standard" theme, the monitors will not return to their assigned
    backgrounds. Sometimes just unplugging and replugging the monitors resets the theme, but most times a complete reboot is necessary to get the theme back.

    Are there any suggestions to getting this issue fixed? Or is Windows 10 going back to the old Win98/ WinXP rule of just having to reboot every couple of days?

    Thanks.
