In this setting window for the desktop background you only have to click with the ” right mouse button ” on the desired background image and then you can choose on which of your monitors the desired desktop image is to be displayed. In this way you can then choose different desktop wallpapers.

Control Panel / Appearance and Customization

There is also a second way via the “old” control panel . Most users who have already worked with Windows 7 or earlier will know this way. Simply call up the control panel ( Windows key + X – control panel ) and then call up the following points
