Windows 10: Lost Account Picture On Lock Screen

Greetings,

I hope this finds you all well. I tried switching to internal graphics on my new machine. I removed the dedicated graphics card, as I am getting another, and I wanted to send the current one back before the new one arrives.

I had nothing but grief after removing my card. The screen froze, went black, etc. I have a 9900k in an Asrock Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX/ac.

That is not the purpose of this thread. I put the card back in and things are back to normal. I noticed now though, that my lock screen photo is gone. It seems rather silly, but it's a picture of my kids.

Can anyone give me process to get the picture back. It's also my account picture.

Thanks,
Graham

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.
