Lock screen stuck on one picture

Hi,

Provide the answers to the following for us to be able to learn more about the issue you're experiencing:

• What is the Background option set on your Lock screen settings? If it's set to Picture, change it to Windows spotlight or Slideshow.
  
• Is the Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen option toggled to ON?
  

Regards.
