On Windows 10, you have many ways to personalize your experience, including the ability to set a background image on your desktop. The only problem is that on a multi-monitor setup, when setting a background, the same image appears on all your monitors.
However, the Settings app includes a no so obvious option to set a different desktop wallpaper on each monitor. You just need to know where to look.
In this guide, you’ll learn the easy steps to set a different background image on each monitor.
How to set different wallpaper per monitor
-
Open Settings.
-
Click on Personalization.
-
Click on Background.
-
Under the “Background” drop-down menu, select Picture.
-
Under “Choose your picture,” right-click the image you want, and select on which monitor you want to set the background image on.

Once you’ve completed the steps, the wallpaper will be displayed only on the monitor you have selected. Also, note that you can click the Browse button to select different images.
