'Extend' Login Screen black on secondary monitor

[Warwick_Tech]

Hi All,

 

It's one of those 'difficult to google' questions -

 

When in 'extend' the login screen (on startup and 'lock') only shows on 1 monitor, of course this leads to confusion as it makes sense to have it on all monitors, regardless of 'main display'

 

I don't think there's a way around this, but thought I'd ask anyway in case someone has a solution.

 

Edit: We force a background, but the other side is always black

That's standard - it might be worth trying also setting a background colour.

It's weird how some places are fine about and some places get confused!

 

I don't think it's possible to extend it, I've asked Google and come up with nothing. Two of my sites it's never an issue, the third, it caused confusion weekly! I set a sky blue background colour at that site which is a main colour in the logon screen image and that seems to resolve people being confused about pri/sec monitors, or even if the monitor is on!

One of my monitors comes 1/2 on. Left hand side of monitor shows left hand half of the image. It confuses ME!

I have that set for the theme, but it's tempramental in it's application -

 

Is this an old GPO setting somewhere?

Yeah this is default for windows 10 now, it happens on mine on logon and when the workstation is locked.

 

I think there is script out there that can add a background colour
