Second Monitor?
How would I make it so that it shows the live wallpaper on the second monitor? It only shows my default image on the second monitor.

If you have Nvidia, go into multiple monitor setup. Or, there is a way to set it up through settings and display with windows.

Actually there should be a monitor menu popping up automatically when you have more than one connected, did you choose the second one there before selecting a wallpaper?

There was no second menu.

You can manually open the menu if you click the monitor icon next to the settings icon in the top right.

If it doesn't recognize the second screen and only shows one monitor there, how exactly is it connected to the PC? Also make sure it's turned on before you open the wallpaper browser.

It is connected via HDMI, and set to duplicate.

Then you will only be able to select one monitor, so that makes sense. But normally Windows should show the live wallpaper on both. Are you using Windows 10? I'm not sure yet because I have to try it first, but perhaps Microsoft has changed something in the Fall update that makes this work out differently.

It still seems to work as expected on my end, it's kind of surprising anyway because duplication should actually copy the final image to the other monitor.

Do you have any other desktop software or similar installed? Are both monitors connected to the same graphics card? It should be fine either way, but something has to be different between the PCs I suppose.
