OS
Win11 Pro 24H2
One of the Win 11 features is the ability to change the background for each virtual desktop. I tested this and it worked although I don't recall if my test was on the leaked build or the first development build. However in the latest build 22000.65 I can't get this to work.

Symptom is that if I change background on one desktop, it changes on all of them.

Is this working for anyone else? Wondering if it might be a regression.

Hi there
While I think the functionality is great - you seem to be correct - I'm only trying two desktops -- the applications running stay OK (different ones on each desktop) but the background is the same. Maybe a decent change for the next update.
