For updating the lockscreen image, we tried to make registry changes using "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization" key and added "LockScreenImage", "LockScreenImageStatus", "LockScreenImagePath", "LockScreenImageUrl" with proper values. But none of this worked.

Lock Screen Image Too Big

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

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

I suggest you to set the picture for the lock screen using the default lock screen pictures and check whether the issue persist or not, follow the below steps to set the pictures.

• 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.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
