  2. unable to change the lock screen Wallpaper.

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.


    • What is the exact issue that you are facing?

    • Are you facing issues while trying to change the lock screen Wallpaper?

    • Are you not able to choose the directory where the wallpapers has been saved?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to restart the computer and check if you are able to successfully change the lock screen wallpaper.


    • From Desktop, right click and select
      Personalize
      .

    • In Personalization window, click on
      Lock Screen
      in the left pane.

    • And choose wallpaper you would like to apply for the lock screen by choosing the browse option.

    • Close the Personalization window.
    If the issue still persists, please do reply with the required information. We will be glad to assist you.

    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.

  4. GPO to change computer lock screen

    Change all AD users lock screen in Windows 10 1809 using Windows Server 2012 R2 STD GPO

    Hai

    I am unable to Change all AD users lock screen in Windows 10 1809 using Windows Server 2012
    R2 STD GPO

    I have enabled it using the correct GPO.

    The GPO is the following:

    Group Policy settingComputer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Force a specific default lock screen image and gave the
    full UNC path of the image file

    The same group policy updated the Client PC windows 10 Build 1809

    Reg key also updated as per GPO

    I have run the result many times and this is what is in the applied GPO, it's still showing my old lock screen image.

    Pls suggest me if any other setting need to enable
