Windows 10: Change Lock Screen Background in Windows 10

Shawn now I do like space pics and I have downloaded several for use and have done the wallpaper ok but when I use browse and go to Downloads where they downloaded to and choose one it doesn't upload it to be my lock screen. So I tried copying it to Pictures and - same thing the spots go round and round but nothing happens.

Again seems a tad convoluted or is it because I am a bit dumb?

 

Hello John, *Smile

Odd. Are you able to set the image as your lock screen using OPTION TWO instead?

 

Not sure Shawn and I haven't enjoyed the best of health this last week and have had things to catch up on but I intend getting to it again this week as I am going to keep one of the laptops fully 10 after finding my way around in it a bit more now. .

 

Take care of yourself mate. I hope you feel better soon.

 

Thanks mate just some cataract surgery and a head cold to follow up feeling better today actually.

 

Note: For option 1 step 5 Slideshow to work the service Windows Search must be running so that Indexing can occur. If this service has been disabled or stopped there will be no Slideshow. Shawn you may want to update your note for option 1 step 5.

 

Thank you. I tested this, and can confirm. I added the note to help warn others. *Smile

Hi, I did not knowingly lock any screens.....but despite changing some colours back, I still cannot see my sign in screen, (that looks like your example) , the difference being I do not have a full screen pic, just a little round 'frame' with a fave pic in it, then the sign in spaces underneath.
I had thought that maybe I had inadvertently created a black screen with black text, highly possible as apart from drop-down menus and text boxes, I really am changing things I know nothing about!.
Then I read that you wrote that we cannot see the sign on screen if we have locked the screen. As I have always steered well away from locking anything, I was thinking maybe you can think of how to fix it.
I'd rather not have a PIN log in anyway, I am the only user, and the constant logging in every time I leave my desk is driving me nuts.
Any ideas?
Thanks...

If you like, you could set Windows to automatically sign in to your account at startup using OPTION ONE below.

Hi all - thank you for these detailed descriptions.
I do have a question - I'm using Asus laptop with Window10 installed - after locking the computer and putting the lid down, and after that opening the lid, I see lock screen text but no image-all is black except text that usually appears over the image-I see icons where I can click and get more info about the place shown, I can see date and time but no image. Can you please help with this issue?

I noticed that this appears only when laptop is woken up from standby by opening the lid. If it goes in standby with lid open and I wake it up via keyboard or mouse then the lock screen functions ok-image is shown, text too.

How come there is no image after waking up with opening of the lid?
Please help-thank you

 

Hello BlueBluey, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

See if this below may be the issue.

 

Thanks Brink but I've already checked this and I have it checked.
Can it be somehow connected to some windows service that does not wake up quick enough to display the image, or something in that direction? Dunno if these images are constantly fetched from the web so all must function upon waking the laptop - must have internet connection - perhaps that may cause it not to display image?
