Displaying Different Images on Different Monitors

[jvickers]

I thought we were going to be able to display different images on each monitor if we had multiple monitors. I couldn't see how to do that.

Here's a Windows 10 tutorial on how to do that. it works on Windows 11 as well: https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-set-different-wallpapers-on-dual-monitors-windows-10 .

I just tried 11 and the way it works in 10 doesn't in 11. In 11 it gives you choices of desktops, not monitors. Please Microsoft, bring back the option for different images on dual monitors!

If you right-click on one of the images you've used, you can select which monitor on which you'd like to place it. I have three monitors, all with separate images, using this technique.

That's exactly what I was doing, but it doesn't say monitor 1 or 2, it says desktop 1 or 2 and no matter which one I select, it changes both monitors.

That's odd. Are you running Windows 11 Pro or Home? I'm running Pro on the Insiders Beta Channel. You might provide Microsoft with feedback if you're an Windows Insiders.

I was on Win 10 Pro. I upgraded to 11 with Windows update in 10. I've since reverted back to 10 with my backup until I see a fix for this. If enough people have the same issue, sooner or later someone will figure it out.

Would you think it might be an issue with my video card drivers?

I temporarily put 11 back on and tried updating the video driver, but still have this...
