    Email unread email count not showing on lockscreen

    Gmail unread email count is not showing on my lockscreen. The unread count shows up in live tile and I get notification sound. I have tried adding gmail as both Google and Outlook, both exhibit the same lockscreen problem. My Gmail account is already configured
    to download emails as they arrive.

    On the other hand Exchange and Hotmail seem to be working on lockscreen.

    Any suggestions?

    fingerprint is not showing in lockscreen

    Lockscreen solid color, but with related search options still showing

    A couple of days ago, and without my laptop having updated to my knowledge, I started getting a solid blue lockscreen. It changes when I change the color of my theme in settings as well. I do however, get the magnifying glass icons and search suggestions that are based on whatever the lockscreen is supposed to be for that day.
