  2. Extend the screen saver for dual monitors in windows 10

    windows 10 programs and apps work fine, my problem is the screen saver mode. I have dual monitor images but when the screen saver starts it only shows on the main monitor not the second one. How do I stretch the image to both screens. again the background
    mode is fine but not in screen saver mode.

  3. screen saver on dual monitors

    this question was asked in January and has not been answered:windows 10 programs and apps work fine, my problem is the screen saver mode. I have dual monitor images but when the screen saver starts it only shows on the main monitor not
    the second one. How do I stretch the image to both screens. again the background mode is fine but not in screen saver mode.

    to clarify:

    -windows 10 installed

    -two monitors

    -screen saver (own photo gallery) only shows on one monitor

    -second monitor is black

    I'm using a screensaver that worked fine - it even showed different photos on each screen from the same photo folder - until windows update in the last few weeks.

    the question is:

    How to get a screensaver to show on BOTH monitors, not just one, on windows 10.

    screen saver on dual monitors

    Hi Greg,

    Sorry no, not what I mean.

    That link covers: one background picture stretching across two monitors.

    I'm looking to: fix a monitor that won't show the screensaver.

    I have a slide show of photos. I'm using this slide show as the Screen Saver (not background, not lock screen).

    I have dual monitors.

    I have tried all combinations of extending and duplicating.

    Currently the laptop screen is disabled - so I'm only using the two main monitors.

    One monitor goes to sleep (and is black) and the other shows the slide show screen saver.

    I'd like both monitors to show the screen saver. Either the same picture at the same time, or different pictures (from the same folder / slide show - this is what it was doing, very nicely, until recently).

    thanks!!
