Set Different Wallpapers for Virtual Desktops on Windows 11

 Changing Virtual Desktop Wallpaper in Windows 11

To get started, you’ll first need to switch to the virtual desktop that you’d like to customize. In Windows 11, click the Task View button in the taskbar (It looks like two overlapping squares.).

On the Windows 11 taskbar, click the Task View button.

When Task View opens, select the virtual desktop whose background you’d like to change.

In Task View, select the virtual desktop you'd like to change.

Your view will switch to that virtual desktop. Next, right-click a blank spot on your desktop itself and select “Personalize” in the menu. (You can also open Windows Settings and navigate to “Personalization.”)

Right-click the desktop and select "Personalize."

In “Personalization,” click “Background.”

In Settings > Personalization, select "Background."

In Personalization > Background, click an image in your recent images list to use it as a wallpaper.

You can also click “Browse Photos” to choose a custom image from your PC. (Windows 11’s default wallpapers are located within various folders inside C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper.)

Using Settings, choose a background image for the virtual desktop.

After you have that virtual desktop wallpaper set, close Settings by clicking the “X” in the upper-right corner of the window. Open Task View again, select another virtual desktop, and repeat the process above. Just remember that you’ll need to select “Personalize” (or open Settings) while on the new virtual desktop to change that desktop’s wallpaper. Have fun!
