Display different wallpapers on a dual-monitor PC

Personalise Windows for two displays

If you have dual monitors on your computer you may want to have different wallpaper on each. This isn’t possible with Windows, but there is a clever utility called Displayfusion that can help.

It appears as an icon of a monitor in the Notification Area. Right-click on this icon and select the top option Desktop Wallpaper. Select the option ‘I want to use a different background for each Monitor’ in the background Mode section and click on the monitor labelled 1.

Select Use 1 Image in the right-hand section and click on the browse button. Find the image you want and click on Open. Repeat this for monitor 2.
