  1. Issue with lock screen background picture


    In Settings Personalize Lock screen, I have checked Windows Spotlight.
    "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" is also checked.
    Yet every tine I boot my desktop computer, I see the same "background" picture a Paris monument. I am not asked if I like it or told that Windows will show me more like this.
    I have a Windows 10 laptop that shows a new picture every time turn it on.
    Any idea why this happens and how to "correct" it?

    :)

  2. Lock Screen background picture


    Has anybody had difficulty adding a picture / wallpaper to the lock screen.
    I have just set up windows 10 screen saver and I see you can change the lock screen back ground picture.
    I have tried adding either one of the windows wallpapers or one of my own pictures but I can't find any option to save the image. on closing the window & returning to the lock screen the picture does not appear to save and returns to the standard blue background with date and time.
    I can't find any option to save the image as a lock screen wallpaper.
    Does anybody have any suggestions.
    Regards,
    Mark.

    Lock Screen Background

    Hi Jean,

    It's possible that you are updating the wrong configuration setting. The
    Background
    setting under Windows Settings > Personalization will update the background picture that will be shown on your desktop where icons are placed. Meanwhile, the
    Lock screen setting will update the background picture that will be shown when you are logging in to your device.

    To update your Lock scren setting, kindly follow these steps:

    1. Press the Windows key to launch the Start menu.
    2. Type in Lock screen settings in the search bar and press
      Enter
      .
    3. Under Background, make sure the it is set to Picture.
    4. Click the Browse button.
    5. Locate the picture that you want to set as lock screen background and click
      Choose picture
      .

    If you continue to have this issue even after performing the above steps, please reply to this thread. The system will notify me so I can get back to you and provide you more answers.
