Is there a way of having 2 different wallpapers without additional software?

I have a 1080p monitor (portrait) & 1440p monitor (landscape).

Have tried in windows but it keeps changing the portrait wallpaper to landscape.

cheers.

windows 10, 1 wallpaper is portrait and the other is landscape.

I used to use displayfusion but would rather not use any extra software if not needed.

Yes you can do it in Windows 10, but it's a hidden feature you can't access through the Control Panel normally. Quite easy though.

First prepare the two images you want as wallpapers, one for 1440p and the other for 1080p.

Next, hit the Windows Key + R to bring up the Run box.

Now type the following into the Run box:

control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper

You'll get a Desktop background dialogue that allows you to set the wallpaper. If you right click on an image you will be offered the options

Set for all monitors
Set for monitor 1
Set for monitor 2

This definitely works, I have two different wallpapers on my 1440p and 1200p monitors.

thanks all for the help.

Cern's suggestion worked perfect, many thanks.
