    Windows 10 Dual Monitor wallpapers


    Hi,
    When I try set a different wallpaper on each monitor I only have the option to set on monitor 2

    Doesn't matter how I get there, (win 10 settings or control desk.cpl,,@background) the only option is monitor 2

    Lock screen wallpaper on both screens

    Currently, i have a dual monitor setup, and was wondering if it would be possible if i could put the wallpaper on the second monitor. (Win 10 64-bit Pro)

    Dual Monitor Setup - Windows 10 randomly changes wallpaper order

    Hello all

    I have a dual monitor setup running Windows 10 where my primary screen i horizontal and my secondary screen is oriented vertically.

    I used the method of selecting two images (CTRL + left mouse click), right clicked the secondly selected image (vertical wallpaper) and chose "set as desktop background" in the context menu, to set my desktop backgrounds (wallpapers), which sets the wallpapers
    correctly... but after an arbitrary amount of time parses the wallpaper changes - either switching the wallpapers around or setting the wallpaper of the primary monitor as the wallpaper of both monitors.

    PS.: The cycling of wallpapers is turned off.

    Hi eyesofedgar and welcome to Ten Forums!

    Could you tell us how you have your monitor configuration setup? (e.g connected via VGA, HDMI)
    Also make sure you check NVIDA's website to make sure you have an up-to-date graphics driver for Windows 10 Pro.

    Have you tried both options? (i.e clicked on first and second 'monitor 2' option)

    Have good look in your NVIDA control panel/graphics settings to see if you can configure multiple monitors somewhere in there.

    The problem sounds to me either like a driver problem or something is wrong with the way the multiple monitors have been configured.

    ellellell1,

    sorry for the delayed reply!!

    Acer S230HL on HDMI
    Dell E173FP on VGA

    Nvidia drivers updated to 10.18.13.6472

    Tried clicking all options and results are the same, identical images on both monitors *Mad

    Anyone know of any hidden registry setting / tweaks that may be of use?

    Ta

    Yep that's pretty weird. Could be a bug in Windows 10 possibly.
    Have you tried to setup multiple monitors in you NVIDA control panel?

    Seems that it could be something in your registry...

    Anyone know the path for this particular option?

    Unfortunate I don't know the path so I can't help you in the registry but I would further suggest to see if uninstalling and reinstalling the monitor drivers fix's this? Also maybe try to download a freeware program, compatible with Windows 10 that assists in arranging multiple monitors?
