    Set lock screen to show *one* *different* picture each time


    I have a folder of images I would like to use for my lock screen.


    I would like Windows to show a different image from the folder each time, but I would like it to stay on that one image, rather than triggering a slideshow. In the lock screen personalisation settings, I have no problem getting either the Picture or the Slideshow options to work, it's just that neither is exactly what I want.


    Anyone know how I can achieve this, either from Windows Settings or using alternative software?

    :)

  2. lock screen not showing photo i set...

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Answer Community.

    We need few information.

    • What is the Windows 10 version?
    • Did you made any recent changes on the PC?
    • Does the lock screen picture changes all the time?

    We would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and let us know if that helps.

    1. Press Windows and I from the keyboard.
    2. Click on Personalization, then click
      Lock screen from the left pane.
    3. Set the Background as
      picture
      , select the picture you want to setup under Choose your picture.

    Hope it helps.

    different lock screen and sign in screen?

    Step 2b is labeled as Change the Login Screen Image, but the steps show you how to change the Lock Screen image. Step 2a is irrelevant. It only tells you how to change the desktop background.

    What I want to do:
    Set Spotlight as the LOCK Screen Image(s) - Done
    Set the Win 10 Hero Image as the SIGN IN Screen Image - This is the one that shows after you click on the lock screen and you are able to type your password. If I uncheck "Show Lock Screen Image on Sign In Screen", it shows a solid blue background behind my Password box and user image. This is what I want to change to the Hero Image....

    Different Lock Screen Picture When Turning On The Computer

    Hi, this is a weird bug that I've noticed which is a little different and I prefer to have my Lock Screen picture as the picture when the computer boots up.
    (Note: I am the only administrator, and there's only this account on my computer)

    Every time I boot the computer, and Windows starts to load, this picture which I call "Inside The Man Cave" shows up when Windows logs into my account:

    Set lock screen to show *one* *different* picture each time [​IMG]


    Yet I have set my Lock Screen picture as this:

    Set lock screen to show *one* *different* picture each time [​IMG]



    How can I have the picture of the Girl Playing Music For The Birds as the picture that would show instead of being Inside The Man Cave?

    Thanks.
