Windows 10: Lock/Login Screen Photo - No Longer Refreshes with New Image

Hello all -

I got a Dell XPS 2-in-1 this past December because I changed jobs and I bought it specifically for my job. I say this because my previous job I had a win 7 machine so I had zero win 10 experience until this computer and I used my iPad Pro for my personal device for years.

To my delight, the login screen would show a beautiful photo every time I went to log in and I could tell it if I liked the photo or not etc. This worked great until a week or so ago and it got stuck on the same photo and if I try to tell windows that I no longer like the photo, it freezes and gives me no way to login.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I did some searches on here but I wasn’t able to get past posts or I’m not using good search terms.

Thanks!

You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen

 

Submitting images to Spotlight Lock Screen Photos

WHO DOESN'T LOVE THE SPOTLIGHT LOCK SCREEN PHOTOS?

I am an avid nature lover and I have a travel bucket list. This list has grown as a result of seeing the photos on the Spotlight Lock Screen. I really appreciate the links they include to find out more about the location. It truly inspires me to want to
visit these places one day.

I have the good fortune to live in a beautiful country with truly picturesque locations that many people do not know about. I have explored numerous parts of Trinidad's Northern Range and wish others could behold its beauty.

My question/thought/suggestion is:

• How do they choose those images?
• How can someone submit/suggest images to be included and shared with the rest of the Windows community?

We shouldn't be selfish and I wish more persons could experience and witness my twin-island home of Trinidad and Tobago. I, or anyone else should be able to share that through the Windows Spotlight Lock Screen Photos!

Hi Josey -

Thanks for the quick reply. While your suggestion does change the sign in process, it doesn't address the differing screenshot question. Following the steps doesn't make the login screenshot the same as the Lock screenshot. As I mentioned, I can't even find the screenshots being used for both screens.

Still looking a solution to this. Open to any other suggestions you might have to the problem. Thanks!
