  1. Unable to get description on the lock screen


    Hi,


    I am not able to see the description on lock screen of the background picture. It does change every few days. But unlike on the surface laptop or surface pro, its not showing on my surface book 2.


    I went to settings-->personalisation-->lock screen ---> windows spotlight; but still no change.


    Can someone please guide.


    Thanks much,




    ***Modified title from: Windows spotlight ***

    You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen
