  1. Lockscreen and login screen images gone after update


    After a recent Windows 11 update the lock screen and login slide show images disappeared and all that was left was the Microsoft ribbon when Widows Spotlight was selected in personalization. The contents of the C:\Users\{my user}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets folder contains only thumbnails of things like check marks, Xbox logo, solitaire, and two small images. I learned about that folder from another similar post. I really liked the images that were included with the OS and would like to find them again.Out of frustration I loo

    Windows 10 1909 Pro X64 (18363.535) can't change login screen

    I recently did a clean install of Win10 Pro 1909 X64. It has been updated to 18363.535.

    I have set the lockscreen to use Windows Spotlight images. I have set the slider to do the same for the login screen.

    The lockscreen properly displays the Spotlight images.

    It does not work for the login screen. My screen is the old image of a beach, framed by what looks like a cave opening.

    Any suggestions as to how to unbreak that? (I'd prefer to not do another Windows re-install.)

  3. Login Screen Background keeps defaulting to stock image

    I've set a custom image on my lock screen to show up on the initial login screen whenever I first start up my computer. But occasionally, the login screen defaults to a stock landscape image that comes with Windows 10.

    To clarify, here are the steps I've taken:

    • Go into Settings -> Personalization -> Lock Screen
    • EDIT: Set image to Picture
    • Click Browse... to look for and select a picture
    • Turn on Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen.

    However, no matter how many times I retake these steps, the default login screen background occasionally
    comes back. How do I stop this from happening?

    UPDATE: I forgot to mention a step here in my initial post. I have already set the background to
    Picture, thus the custom image.

    Lockscreen - windows spotlight image

    thanks. i already know that though. already set to that.

    the problem is that i can only see it on the lockscreen or on the sign in screen after the lock screen. that is the problem.

    i can have it on one or the other depending on if i select or unselect the see spotlight image on sign in screen.

    i take it off that and then it is on lockscreen, i put it on sign in screen and it is gone from lockscreen. that is the issue.
