Background Shuffle Win 8.1, 2 monitors

Wasn't sure to put this here or in the OS section. When I setup my backgrounds the first time, I pointed it to my Pictures section on OneDrive, set it to 5 mins and shuffle. It started showing a different background on each monitor, worked beautifully. Suddenly, it stopped doing that. Now it only shows the same background on both monitors.

How do I get it back to a different one on each monitor?
 
I use DisplayFusion for multi-monitor support even with Win8.1 since it provides much more usability. There is a free version that will allow you to manage separate backgrounds.

Otherwise, just right-click on the desktop, select Personalize, then under background select your pics and check the shuffle box. The backgrounds will now change randomly.

Yeh, that's what they do, but it is now showing the SAME pic on both monitors. Previously, it showed a different pic on each monitor. It just went stupid on me one day.

I'll check into DisplayFusion, thanks.
