Windows 10: Windows 10 Dual Monitor Background Slideshow sometimes image is split between the monitors

Hello,On my Windows 10 PC I have a dual monitor setup. I use a slideshow option for my background images and really like how it puts a different image on each monitor. However, sometimes an image comes up and half of it is on the left monitor and half is on the right monitor. Almost like it thinks the two monitors are actually one and the image is centered. Is there an image size that tells Windows 10 when to do this? If not, what would be the reason for this happening and how can I stop it?

Windows 10 Dual Monitor Background Slideshow sometimes image is split between the monitors

Hello,

On my Windows 10 PC I have a dual monitor setup. I use a slideshow option for my background images and really like how it puts a different image on each monitor. However, sometimes an image comes up and half of it is on the left monitor and half is on the
right monitor. Almost like it thinks the two monitors are actually one and the image is centered. Is there an image size that tells Windows 10 when to do this? If not, what would be the reason for this happening and how can I stop it?

Thanks,

Setting different Backgrounds for Dual Monitors in Windows 10

Nope, does not work. Background images still switch. There is no right-click option to set monitor. Right clicking the images brings up "set as slideshow" popup, nothing else.

***Just a thought, maybe it's the difference between laptop and desktop perhaps? I am using a laptop with a second monitor.***

 

Setting different Backgrounds for Dual Monitors in Windows 10


Naw, OP is just confused and is (ab)using) Slideshow to set Single Picture mode. Cyberghost's post here:

* Setting different Backgrounds for Dual Monitors in Windows 10

lets you stay out of Slideshow mode but still set a picture for monitor via right-clicking on the particular images you want in that interface.

They also added this feature to the 'normal' Settings page in Windows Insider beta build 10525.
