  3. Help! Can't change Lock Screen picture!

    Hi,
    For some reason, since upgrading to Win 10 Pro 20H2, I am unable to set a custom lock screen picture. I can go to Settings\Personalization\Lock Screen and make my desired selection, but the system never honors that selection.

    I've even tried briefly changing my user permissions to Administrator...but still, no luck.

    (NOTE: I have no problem setting a desired custom desktop background picture....I just can't change the Lock Screen picture.)

    Suggestions, please? - Many Thanks

    SYSTEM INFO: 8 GB RAM, Win 10 Pro 64-bit, v.20H2, OS build 19042.1288, Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0.
    8 GB RAM,

    Unable to change lock screen and the user profile picture

    Opening screen picture

    Hi Sharon,

    You can customize the settings of the lock screen and desktop screen background picture in the Pesonalization page of Settings. You can also change the profile picture that you're seeing on the log-in screen in the Accounts page of Settings. Just to clarify,
    are you referring to the desktop screen, the lock screen, or the profile picture of your user account?

    To change the background picture of the lock screen, follow the steps below:

    • Click the Windows logo (Start button).
    • Click the gear icon (Settings).
    • Select Personalization.
    • On the left pane, choose Lock screen.
    • Under Choose your picture, you can select from the default list of photos or you can click on
      Browse if you want to select the photo that you want.

    You can change the background picture of the desktop by following the same steps above but instead of choosing lock screen, select
    Background.

    You can replace the profile picture of your user account by doing these steps:

    • Click the Windows logo (Start button).
    • Click the gear icon (Settings).
    • Select Accounts.
    • On the left pane, choose Your info.
    • Under Create your picture, choose Browse for one to see choose the profile photo that you want.

    If you have additional questions, kindly reply to this thread.
