Windows 10: Strange message on black screen (screen lock?)

Neither McAfee nor Windows Defender find a virus but whenever my screen lock comes on, I get the following strange message: "There are no pictures in Libraries\Pictures". I can't make a screen print because as soon as I touch any key, the message disappears. The message is in very small type and it migrates very slowly across the screen. Does my computer need an exorcist ?

Strange black screen

It could be a bad device driver. To see if that's the problem, you can try starting up in Safe Mode. Here's how:

1. Start your computer but don't log in.

2. Click the power button in the bottom right, hold down the shift key, and then click
Restart.

3. Your computer will restart to a light blue screen with 3 options. Select the Troubleshoot option.

4. Click Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart

5. When your computer restarts, press 5.

6. Log in to your account and see if the problem still happens.

If your desktop works, the problem is driver-related and we can fix it by installing the latest drivers for your video device.

Hey Ken,
Sounds like you're using a Lock Screen Slideshow and the folder it points to is empty. You can change the folder the Lock Screen Slideshow is pointing to or change the Background to Windows Spotlight or Picture. You can find out by going to Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen
