display different photos on 2 screen setup as screensavers

I have Windows 10, 2 monitor setup

Would like to display my photos on both screens - but not same photo both screens ( at least not simultaneously) as a screensaver function ( ie when PC idle)

I can get one photo on 1 screen only but dwell time at slow setting is too fast ( about 15 seconds)

So ideally, photo on screen 1 and a different photo on screen 2 show when pc not in use changing every few minutes

Suggestions as to how to do appreciated

Thanks

Can you make it display one photo across the 2 screens? If so then combine your images and make a large image with 2 images.

I'll check with my son when he gets home from work. He's got about three screens and knows about everything there is to know about computers.

On my Mac I go to settings/screen saver. A window pops up on each screen where I can pick folders of pics or single pics and set time duration from minutes to hours. Different on each screen. Simple. Quick.

This worked for me. Although for some reason I need to reset it occasionally

This is *almost* what I want. I got it working pretty well except that it does its thing as Wallpaper and I want it as a Screensaver. Can this be done?
