  1. Lock Screen Actions


    Hi Everyone,
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    I use 'Windows Spotlight' for my Lock Screen. After that screen sits for a bit (never timed it), the time and date disappear and about 3 icons appear on the screen. One gives the location of the beautiful picture and one is for sharing I think.
    My question is: Is there a keystroke combination to make the Lock Screen change instead of waiting for it to?
    Thanks in advance *Smile
    Dave

    :)

  2. Ads displayed in Lock Screen

    Hi Subhadeep,

    Windows Spotlight is an option for the lock screen background that displays different background images and occasionally offers suggestions on the lock screen.
    To turn off Windows Spotlight, go to Settings, clickPersonalization,
    select Lock screen, under Background select a different lock screen background.

    To avoid messages on your lock screen, you can consider the following:

    • Make sure that the "Get fun facts, etc" on your Settings is turned off.
    • Disable “suggestions” that appear as notifications. To do so, follow these steps go to
      Settings, then select System, then click
      Notifications & actions
      and turnoff “Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates and occasionally when I sign in to highlight what’s new and
      suggested”.
    • Disable “tips, tricks, and suggestions”. Head to Settings then select
      System, then click Notifications & Actions and disable the “Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows” option.

    Don't hesitate to reply on this thread if further assistance is needed.
