Windows 10: Windows 11 Pro - Screen Saver across multiple monitors

Hi,Seems like this cannot be done when using Photos for screensavers. No matter where I look, I find the same instructions, and they do not work. The photos only show on my "main" monitor but not on the others. Is there a fix to this now?

Screen Saver on multi-monitor setup for Windows 11

I have multiple monitors and docking station. There are two separate systems running on the docking station controlled by a switch. One system is Window 10 Enterprise, the other is Windows 11 Home. (Yes, I need to upgrade to Pro) I also have an older Windows 10 Home system I plugged in where the 11 system is as a test. Both Windows 10 systems natively runs the screen saver on all the monitors and display different images on them. Windows 11 only runs on the primary monitor. There is no third party software on the 10 systems controlling the screen saver.

When is Microsoft going to fix this? I do not want to run another program that uses additional resources.

Screen saver over dual monitors in windows 10

Hi,

One of the possible reasons why the screen saver shows only on one of your monitors is that you have an outdated graphics card. Please refer to this

You can try these steps if updating your graphics driver doesn't work:

• Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
• Type Display settings and click it.
• The Customize your display window will appear. Under the Multiple displays option, choose
  Extend these displays.
• Click Apply.
• Check if both monitors now will show the screen saver.
