Windows 10: I can’t change my lock screen background

When I change the lock screen and press Win + L it Works like it should, but when I restart the Computer the lock screen background goes back to the Windows default one. The "show fun facts and tips" button resets every time I close the lock screen settings tab.

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.
