  1. Can't change lock screen


    Hello! I've been having this problem for a few days now. I wanted to change my lock screen, when I selected the file it started to loading and nothing happened. Later I noticed a message saying: "*Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization."

    I looked it up and I saw some solutions like: Open "gpedit.msc" and change the option "Do not display the lock screen" from enabled to not configured. For me it was already on not configured and I couldn't really find any other solutions. I have a screenshot of it below, if anyone knows any solution, it would be a huge help Also I'm really sorry for my bad english, I'm still learning it Can't change lock screen 198e5abb-8a6f-40e8-9415-f29c056f5d91?upload=true.png

    Lock Screen keeps changing

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Windows Spotlight picks the photos from Bing and displays them in the lock screen. I understand that you have set a picture and it is getting changed automatically.

    I suggest you to follow the steps to select the Picture that you want to be displayed on the lock screen. Please follow the steps mentioned below to set a Picture to lock screen:

    1. Press and hold Windows + I key on the keyboard to open settings.
    2. Click on Personalization.
    3. Click on Lock screen.
    4. Click on the drop down under Background and select
      Picture.
    5. Click on Browse and select the picture that you want to set.

    Hope it helps.

    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
