  1. How can I find the image I saved as my lock screen?


    At some point I saved an image as my lock screen image. It's a drawing one of my kids did with my Surface pen. I'm about to replace my Surface device and I want to keep this image but I can't find it anywhere and I can't see a way to locate it via the Personalisation/Lock Screen settings. If I click on Browse it just takes me to my Pictures folder, but the image isn't in there.


    Is there any way to find that image so I can make sure it's backed up?


    Thanks!

    :)

  3. Lock Screen Image Too Big

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    • Is this issue occurs only when the pictures are set from OneDrive?

    • Go to “settings” and click on “personalization”.
    • Under “lock screen” tab, select the option from the drop box as “picture”.
    • Then under “choose your picture” option, click on any picture and go to the lock screen, check whether the issue persists or not.
