  1. Personalise lock screen in Windows 10


    How can I keep my chosen picture on the sign in/lock screen in Windows 10? I have changed it dozens of times and despite the preview showing the picture I have selected, when I turn the laptop off it has always reverted back to the MS default picture when I next turn it on. Thanks in advance

    :)

    Cannot use Settings->Personalisation to change Lock Screen settings


    Hello,
    Is it possibly the Anniversary Update, which has blocked my possibilities to change the Lock Screen configuration? In Settings->Personalisation that whole option is greyed out today and I'm stuck with a lock screen, which I can't modify or change. Any help for this? Perhaps there is a registry change I could apply? I would be happy for any suggestion.

    I've attached an image. My language is Swedish, but I guess that you will recognise the part of the Settings->Personalisation, which is shown.

    Thanks in advance

    We also suggest that you enable the Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing
    option. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

    • Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box, type
      Sysdm.cpl in the box, and then press the Enter key.
    • Click on the Advanced tab. And under the Performance section, click the
      Settings button to open the Performance Options dialog box.
    • Check the Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing tick box and click
      OK.

    Set your lock screen again and see if you will still encounter the issue. Should you have further questions, feel free to post them on this thread.
