  1. Lock Screen Picture No Longer Appears


    For some unknown reason the lock screen picture no longer appears when Windows boots. Just black. I hear the "ding," and I hit Enter so the sign-in screen opens. Is there a way to get the lock screen picture to appear as it should?

    :)

  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.

  3. 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.

  4. Lock Screen Picture No Longer Appears

    A picture deleted still appearing in Lock Screen. How to get rid of it?

    It will show under Personalization > Lock Screen until you have chosen 5 new pictures to "push" it off the list of recent pictures. So just choose some more until it's not longer shown.
