    Windows 11 doesn't save backgrounds on dual monitors


    This has been an issue I've always had with Windows 11. I have a dual monitor setup where I have picture A for monitor 1 and picture B for monitor 2. Every time I turn off my PC, or the PC goes into Sleep mode, it sets picture A for both monitor 1 and 2. I have not been able to solve this issue and it is getting very annoying despite it being such a minute bug. Thank you in advance

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Setting different Backgrounds for Dual Monitors in Windows 10


    Hi All,
    If you have a dual monitors and want to set a different background for each. You don't need third party program to set them. Here's an easy way:
    1. Copy the background images to: C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows

      Windows 11 doesn't save backgrounds on dual monitors 19974d1485951544t-setting-different-backgrounds-dual-monitors-windows-10-a-2015-05-26_8-16-56.png

    2. Use CTRL key for multiple selection to select both backgrounds.
    3. Right click on one background->Set as desktop background

    You should have a separate background for each monitor.

    The background images will be stored under:
    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
    as:
    Transcoded_000 and Transcoded_001 without extension

    If you want to swap the images, just rename 0 to 1, 1 to 0. Sign out and sign back in or
    right click on desktop and select: Next desktop background
