Ensure wallpapers remain organized when powering down a single screen.
Ensure wallpapers remain organized when powering down a single screen.
On my desktop I have this arrangement:
1 and 2 are my usual work screens.
3 is a small screen that always shows me the current game and is mounted on the wall.
4 is my TV. I rarely use it but sometimes need it.
If I turn off #4, the wallpapers (different static ones on each) on 1,2,3 become mixed up. Parts of each 4 wallpaper will appear randomly on one or more of the remaining 3.
When I turn #4 back on, everything returns to normal.
With 3 off, nothing unusual happens like with 4.
Do you know why this occurs and how to stop it?
Not at all, a clear answer is needed. I would exclude the "rarely use" TV and treat it as a standalone device. Consider the video card and Windows 10 together, which seems problematic. I think simplifying things would be best.
[Keep in mind Occam's Razor.]
It’s true there might be a quick solution, but we can’t be sure it will work long-term.
In fact, Windows 10 and similar systems are being phased out.

I understand you're seeking insight into why certain details matter and how to address them meaningfully, not just avoid them. If you'd like, I can help explain the relevance of these specifications and suggest a way to justify their importance.
Observe that the wallpapers in a multi-monitor configuration are arranged in a specific sequence. When I turn off the TV, this arrangement appears to be disrupted, indicating the problem stems from how Windows interprets the TV signal compared to the other displays. This might involve hardware or software factors. I'm at a standstill in my quest for a precise explanation. Please let me know if you have more insights.
Uncertain about whether PersistentWindows will assist

It's a self-contained solution. You're free to decide.
Or check if Dexpot functions properly.

The script appears to work inconsistently. It cycles through all monitors, applying one wallpaper for 1 second and then switching to the next, but it doesn't properly manage which monitor gets which wallpaper. The process seems to repeat without clear control over monitor-specific assignments.
