Setting a unique background on each of your multiple monitors was a simple trick in Windows 8, but the menu is buried to the point of being invisible in Windows Windows will set it as your default on all desktops.
Right-click the wallpaper icons and choose which monitor you want to use each on. With that in mind, consider the following two scenarios. Scenario one: You infrequently change your desktop wallpaper, but you would really like to have a different background on each monitor.
There are two ways two go about selecting multiple monitor wallpapers in Windows 10—neither particularly intuitive. Select your images in the File Explorer, using Ctrl or Shift to select multiple images. Right click on the image you wish to assign to your primary monitor while the images you want to use are still selected.
Windows will set those images as your desktop wallpapers. Below, you can see that the image we clicked on the red wallpaper with the House Lannister crest is on the center monitor. The two other wallpapers, for House Stark and House Baratheon, are more or less randomly placed on the secondary and tertiary monitor. This is a particularly inelegant solution because you have no control over where the images on the non-primary monitors will be placed.
When Windows 8 came out, one of the first things multi-monitor users noticed is that there were a bunch of new menu options, including a very easy to use multi-monitor wallpaper selection tool built right into the Personalizations menu in the Control Panel.
Inexplicably, that option vanished in Windows Strangely, even though no menus directly link to it anymore, the menu itself is just hanging out there waiting for you. Deselect the images Windows automatically checks all of them when you load the directory and then select a single image.
Repeat the process for whatever wallpaper you wish to use for each monitor. The end result? Exactly the wallpaper we want on each monitor:. We select and review products independently.
