Hello everyone, I recently replaced my RX 580 with an RTX 4070. The main problem I’m facing is that the wallpaper on my second screen resets every time I power on my PC. Even though I use different wallpapers, setting them up correctly each boot has become difficult. When trying to apply a wallpaper from the Personalize menu, there’s no option to select “Set for Monitor X.” Instead, it only lets you set it as a desktop background, which displays the same image on both screens. The only workaround is changing the display type in settings from Extend to Duplicate or similar, then switching back to Extend. This forces the system to use the correct wallpaper, but after rebooting, the option disappears again. I’ve checked the latest GPU drivers, reinstalled them, and used DDU, but my Windows remains up-to-date. The only missing update is my motherboard’s BIOS. I found a few related threads online, but no one offered a solution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

Specs: CPU – Ryzen 7 5800X, RAM – 16GB, 3600MHz DDR4, GPU – RTX 4070, Motherboard – B550 Aorus Elite V2

It doesn't specify how it worked with the 580. Could you clarify the context or provide more details?

Absolutely, I've never experienced any problems since switching to the 4070.
