amm 8.11.1 registered
windows 10 pro 64 bits
monitors 1x1440p / 1x1200p vertical / 1x3840x2160 tv
Hello, today i decided to change my desktop backgrounds "individual picture on each monitor Static"
changed the first 2 images and no problem, when i selected the new background for the 4k tv and hit
apply all the monitors went black background. i have tried restarting the computer, selecting
different images from different drives. checking the images so there is no change of file corruption
windows setting shows solid black selected, if i change image by windows it does work. but as soon
as i start amm it goes black. "closed the program to test"
so it seems that its amm sending the blackout order.
help :_[
i don't think it matters but here are my system specs
4770k
16gb
1080ti
8xhdd+1ssd
no software that could be interfering with this but here it is anyway
razer synapse/ steam/ daemon tools/ shell folder fix/ avast free/ logitech set point
i never had any problems before, i always change my desktop background at least once a month.
the only thing i remember doing different this time is that i hit apply after changing 2 images. and that the 3rd picture was in another hdd. all images are .jpg
thank you in advance.

This is just a stab in the dark, but does the third image have a non standard character in the name or path? I had a folder containing "★" in the name, and everytime I'd try to display wallpapers in it on AMM, all my screens would turn blank.
It also happened on some files that seemed to have a normal name, but when I renamed those they worked again.

Does the background change to solid color when there are no pictures specified in the "Picture file" field of "Individual picture on each monitor" mode for each monitor?
Could you clear this field for each monitor and try to set some other solid color via Actual Multiple Monitors settings in the same section of the configuration module? Does the color appear on the desktop? What happens if you exit AMM and start again?
Best regards.

Hello, thank you for the help.
D:\Downloads\HDphotos path for the pictures
renamed all the folder contents just to be sure, to "desktop" +number
there was no non standard character present.
i changed via windows settings to gray and it changed, then selected a picture from my folder and it worked. went into amm and all the 3 slots were empty.
at this point the picture i selected via windows is still in the background.
i proceeded to select my 3 pictures and hit apply, as soon as i did, all background went gray.
cleared the 3 pictures then hit apply, remained gray, changed solid color to black via amm for all monitors and hit apply and it did change to black.
exit amm and nothing happens, black background. then i restart amm and all went gray :/
haaalp

Ivan,
Do you sign in with a Microsoft account when using Windows? If yes, then could you temporarily disable the "Sync Settings" option (Start button > Settings icon > Accounts > Sync your settings > Turn off the switch next to Sync Settings). Then try to set individual pictures for each monitor in Actual Multiple Monitors. Let us know the results.

Ivan,
Could you create a new local Windows account, don't sign in with a Microsoft account when using it, and try to launch Actual Multiple Monitors when under this account and see whether it's possible to set different pictures for each monitor?

Ivan,
We've managed to figure out what causes this problem. Could you download , install it and see whether the problem has gone?
Best regards.

Ivan,
In order for this .reg file to take effect, the test build should be installed. I'll send you a link to the test build. Could you install it and let us know the results?
