Setting Picture Screensaver for Multiple Screens on Windows 10

Yep, that's the question. My screensaver only appears on the primary monitor. I'd like to duplicate it on the secondary.

There’s some confusion as to whether this is possible, some say it can only be done with third party screensaver software like this:

While other say you need to do this:

1.

Right-click on a blank area of your desktop and select “Personalize.”

2.

Click “Screen Saver” at the bottom-right corner of the window.

3.

Select the desired screen saver from the drop-down menu and indicate a “wait” time in minutes. The screensaver will come on automatically after the computer has been idle for that period of time.

4.

Check the “On resume, display logon screen” for added security, if desired. This feature requires you to enter your password when resuming your Windows session.

5.

Click “Apply” and then “OK.”

6.

Click on the “Display” link at the bottom left.

7.

Click “Adjust Resolution” on the left.

8.

Choose “Extend these displays” from the Multiple Displays drop-down menu if you’d like a single screensaver to travel across both displays. Click “Duplicate these displays” if you want a duplicated screen saver to display on each monitor.

It seems the default screensavers do work across multiple monitors but that’s not 100% confirmed with 1809.

In the end if you cannot get these solutions to work then I recommend you post feedback to Microsoft & request the feature - Windows key + F to open the feedback app.

Hi, tried that, doesn't work. Thanks anyway :)

The screensaver is now under Settings>Personalisation>Lockscreen, scroll down & there’s a text link to the screensaver settings - hopefully once set it’ll show on multiple monitors.

There’s some suggestion the screensaver function is being removed in favour of putting the screen/PC to sleep instead.

I hope this helps.

Is it that the screensaver isn't appearing on all three screens? There's no screensaver setting? Or is there an error message?
