How to Set a Different Wallpaper on Each Monitor in Windows …

Windows 10 allows you to set a different wallpaper for each monitor in a multi-monitor setup. This feature is built into the operating system and provides a way to personalize your desktop background for each display. Here’s how to set different wallpapers on each monitor in Windows 10:

1. Identify Your Monitors: Before setting different wallpapers, ensure that your monitors are correctly identified by Windows. You can do this by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting “Display Settings.” In the Display Settings window, you will see a representation of your monitors with numbers and names. Note the numbers or names assigned to each monitor.

2. Prepare the Wallpapers: Make sure you have the wallpapers you want to use for each monitor. You can have different images for each monitor or create an image that spans multiple monitors if you prefer.

3. Set Different Wallpapers: To set different wallpapers on each monitor in Windows 10, follow these steps:

  1. Open File Explorer: Right-click on the Start button and select “File Explorer” from the context menu.
  2. Locate the Wallpapers: Navigate to the folder where you have saved the wallpapers you want to use.
  3. Select the Images: Select all the images you want to use as wallpapers by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and clicking on each image.
  4. Right-Click and Set as Desktop Background: After selecting the images, right-click on any of the selected images, and choose “Set as desktop background” from the context menu.
  5. Configure Wallpaper Options: A window titled “Picture Position” will appear. Here, you can configure how the wallpapers should be displayed on each monitor. Choose “Span” from the dropdown menu to have an image span across multiple monitors. Alternatively, choose “Fit,” “Fill,” “Tile,” or “Center” for individual wallpapers on each monitor.
  6. Apply and Save Changes: Click on the “Save changes” button to apply the selected wallpapers to your multiple monitors.

Note: If you want to set an image to a specific monitor, open the image in the default Windows Photos app, click on the three-dot menu at the top-right corner, and choose “Set as” > “Set as monitor.” This allows you to set the image as a wallpaper for the selected monitor directly.

With these steps, you can easily set different wallpapers on each monitor in Windows 10, creating a unique and personalized desktop experience for your multi-monitor setup. Keep in mind that Windows features and interfaces may change with updates, so the exact steps might vary slightly in future versions of the operating system.
