Windows 10: Unable to customize Lock Screen

I was hoping I could change the image on the lock screen, but it still appears not to work - when I select a new image I just get a spinning cursor in the preview screen. Is anyone having a luck customizing the Lock Screen image, if so how do you do it?

Unable to select photo for lock screen

Ever since the dreaded Windows 10 Fall update (Windows 10 Home, version 1607, build 14393.222), which annoyingly reset all my privacy settings, I have been unable to select a custom image for the lock screen. (My custom desktop image was preserved.) Under
the Lock Screen settings, I choose Background: Picture, but the browse button is grayed out. How do I fix this?

 

First thing I did was change the lockscreen, no problems on any of my 4 computers.

Go to: Start Menu > Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen and specify your background as either picture or slideshow and underneath select picture(s) of your choice.

Mine does not work - where yours shows a preview screen, I just see the icon spinning forever - I left it for 20 minutes. It lets me do other things on that screen, but when I click on browse for picture and select one, it just spins. I have tried a bunch of pictures, are there any limits to what pictures can be chosen? Maybe all of mine are too big or something, yet in Windows 7 they all worked.

 

Can you access the location of where your pictures are, especially if you are doing it over a network or via the cloud drive?

There might be some size restrictions on picture file size but I doubt, some of my pics are 2.8mb .pngs

 

Yes, when I click "Browse" I see all my pictures. They are just in folder on the same computer.
