I have an XDR and 3 Studio Displays and the desktop wallpaper is only showing up on the main XDR display. The others are black, but I can utilize them with windows. The wallpaper is the only thing that isn't working. Others have this issue?

You have “Displays have separate Spaces” enabled. Lets you set each Space independently as far as wallpaper, etc.

Personally, I turn that off but there may be operational reasons to keep it on.

I was hoping you were right but that is not enabled. Anything else I can try?
 
I have the same problem. I have a Mac Mini (M4) with the main monitor connected via DisplayPort to USB-C adapter, and the secondary monitor connected via HDMI port. Both monitors otherwise work normally (I am able to use both) but the wallpaper only shows on the primary. The wallpapers worked fine on this setup before the latest beta.

Did you install a wallpapers app? this is a common issue when people install apps that are placing wallpapers changing the entries.json from the Application Support folder

oh it was a Beta issue, I mentioned the issue with wallpaper apps, because I develop my app because I once install a wallpaper app and I notice that suddenly a background turned black and it was because that wallpaper app was touching a system file related with the wallpapers, and that inspire me to make a more native sandboxed method
