    Lockscreen and Background keep Reverting Back


    I've tried to set my lock and background screen to my own photo and it only stays that way for a day, then changes to a random one chosen by windows. I've made sure that I selected the 'picture' option in the personalization settings and not "slideshow". But no matter what image I try to use it always reverts back to the windows image. How do I fix this/why is it happening? Thank you

    :)

    Lockscreen/Background


    I have tried a few Builds of win 10 so far, with no crashes. Have been happy with the looks and it has run all my programs so far. Right now I am on Build 10159. But there is one thing that is not working like in Windows 8/8.1: The Lockscreen/Background settings. For instance it can be tricky to change the background picture to a slideshow. The icon for pictures in One Drive is no different to MY eyes than the icon to the PC pictures. Also, if you click on them to remove one, there is no reaction, no matter how hard I try.
    When it comes to the Lockscreen, it only allows specific apps; you cannot add the weather for instance. So, overall, that section of the features is not flexible in my estimation. Speaking about the weather app, when you click on that tile in Metro, you have your local weather ok, but it doesn't stay on the preview, like in Windows 8/8.1.
    Finally, when I run win 10 on my laptop, with the same settings as on my PC, the lockscreen does not kick in after a period of inactivity.
    Does anyone else experience these flaws? How can I fix that?
