Windows 10: Wallpaper for Dual Monitors Running Slideshow on Windows 10

Like the subject says, I have dual monitors running slideshow in personalization settings. How do I change the setting to show the same wallpaper. Right now it's showing two different wallpapers. This is a work computer so I cannot download any applications to fix this.

Wallpaper Slideshow on Only One Monitor

Hello. As the title suggests, I want to have desktop wallpapers that are different on each monitor. More specifically, I want to have one single wallpaper for my main screen, but I want my secondary screen to cycle through a slideshow. Is there a way to
set only one screen to have a slideshow?

 

Wallpaper Slideshow on Only One Monitor

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

To do so, first you want to create a folder with all of your wallpaper that you want cycled. I recommend created a
Slideshow folder under the Pictures folder. Once created, simply copy and paste (or move) all your images into that folder. You could even use a OneDrive folder if you please.

Remember, these wallpapers sync across all your Windows 10 devices, regardless if the wallpapers are on their drives too.

Follow the below steps:

1. Go to All Settings by clicking the Notification Center.

2. Personalization.

3. Background.

4. Choose Slideshow from the background drop menu.

5. Choose Browse.
Navigate to your Slideshow folder that you created earlier to specify the directory.

6. Set time interval.
Under Change picture every choose your time preference of between 1 minute and 1 day. This selection is how often the OS auto-rotates your wallpaper. I elected for every 10 minutes for my system, but some of you may prefer just once a day.

7. Choose a fit.
This selection is purely optional. Most people opt for Fit under this setting. Although if you have a smaller wallpaper you may wish to
Tile or Stretch.

If you are running a multi-monitor setup, each monitor runs a separate/different wallpaper from your image dump.

On the other monitor,

From the Desktop Background window, simply find the picture you want to use, right-click it, and select
Set for monitor 1 (or whichever monitor you want to set it for).
