    Create Photo problem for sign in screen


    When I click on the Browse button to find a photo to use for my sign on page, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    I've attached a screen shot of the Settings page I am referring to. Browse Button does not work.

    :)

    sign on screen

    Settings, Personalization, Lock screen.

    There you have the default photos or you can use Browse and pick a photo you have on the computer.

    Now the Lock screen and the Sign-in screen are the same if you turn the " Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" on or else the sign-in screen is blank.

    Windows 10 upgrade/update log in issue

    following instructions to sign in with a local account initially switches over to the proper screen and lock screen photo. However, when the computer is restarted, it goes back to requiring me to sign in twice (and displays incorrect lock screen photo).

    On my laptop, when I click on BROWSE in SETTINGS, PERSONALIZATION, BACKGROUND, it opens a pop up window to my This PC/Pictures folder. It does take 5 or 10 seconds to open the window. Are you waiting long enough?

    Yes. Clicking on the browse button doesn't have any effect.

    Is your edition of Windows activated?

    Sorry, I don't know what that means: (is your edition of Windows activated).

    OK, I just checked and Windows is activated. I think in cleaning up apps, Icons and files I must have switched off something, maybe in Services. I just realized I have the same problem with browsing for a picture to add to my Background. The Browse button doesn't work there either.

    EDIT:
    It just occurred to me that the Browse buttons might be directed to the MS Photo folder. I deleted that folder and all the others like it as I keep my data on a separate internal drive. Could this be the case? If so I will need to change something to redirect the Browse buttons to my D Drive.

    Yes it does direct you to 'Photos' by default, that could be the problem.

    How can I get the Browse buttons to redirect to D: Photos?

    I would guess the folders you deleted need to be re-created.
    Perhaps a Reset is in order.

    Thanks but putting that folder back is a bit of a capitulation and wouldn't do me any good. All my photos are on another drive. Regarding a reset, I've spent days getting W10 set up so that I can use it effectively. There's no way I'd start over.

    I do sincerely appreciate your time on this and the many other issues you have helped me and others on.

    Ideally someone will come up with a work around. If not, a plain gray circle with my name in it isn't the worse thing I've had to deal with*Smile
