windows 11 logon screen multiple monitors

hello, I've been wondering how you set your login screen to have an image to display on my second monitor for my pc personally I don't want to have to make it be duplicated monitors. so if at all possible how can I make my second monitor display an image I've been searching everywhere in settings and i couldn't find anything. Got anything that can help?

Hi A Game. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded MVP, here to help you.

The Log In Screen should appear on the primary monitor. Set the primary monitor in Windows 11 Display Settings as shown here:

Hi, I've wondered if there is currently a way to display a picture on both screens when I am on the sign-in/lock screen. so I can display 2 pictures but show the log-in prompt on only one screen is this at all possible?

Not that I'm aware of. Here is what I find is possible for background pictures on multiple monitors:

Hopefully you can use something there.

Thank you for the advice but unfortunately, I don't think Microsoft has it implemented if you do find anything you can let me know but I wouldn't make it a priority.

I sure will.

This would be good feedback to post in the Feedback Hub, which is where developers are tasked by Microsoft to respond to consumer feedback. Press the Windows (flag) key to open it and get started.

Let me know if I can help further. I'll stay subscribed to this thread in case you need anything else, until the system locks it in a few months.
