Windows 10: Lock Screen Image is Wrong.

This is not the first time I have experienced this cosmetic issue with windows 10. It's like it has a mind of its own and it is a malevolent mind indeed.


I select my desired image in the settings screen for the lock screen. The desired image shows there, but not in the lock screen itself. In fact, the image that is displayed is not even one that is available in the settings app!


I know it's trivial, but windows 10 sure knows how to torture its users with a death by a 1000 paper cuts. You know what I mean.


This started yesterday after I installed version 2004 over 1909 which was cleanly installed in March. This is a secondary instance of windows 10 and I really have done nothing with it to break it since the clean install of 1909, except to keep the updates current.


I really wish you'd watch your programmers more aggressively. They've really screwed windows 10 up badly. I can hear them giggling in one of your back rooms.


Any ideas for fixing this lock screen image problem?

Lock Screen Image Too Big

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

• Is this issue occurs only when the pictures are set from OneDrive?

I suggest you to set the picture for the lock screen using the default lock screen pictures and check whether the issue persist or not, follow the below steps to set the pictures.

• Go to “settings” and click on “personalization”.
• Under “lock screen” tab, select the option from the drop box as “picture”.
• Then under “choose your picture” option, click on any picture and go to the lock screen, check whether the issue persists or not.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
