  1. Why do both my Background and Lock Screen pictures keep changing when it is not set to...


    I set both of my Background and Lock Screen pictures to certain pictures but if I walk away from my desktop, after locking my laptop, I return only to find the Lock Screen picture has changed. And when I log in, the Background picture has changed too. I am not using Windows Spotlight at all. Why does this keep happening?

    :)

  2. Lock Screen background picture


    Has anybody had difficulty adding a picture / wallpaper to the lock screen.
    I have just set up windows 10 screen saver and I see you can change the lock screen back ground picture.
    I have tried adding either one of the windows wallpapers or one of my own pictures but I can't find any option to save the image. on closing the window & returning to the lock screen the picture does not appear to save and returns to the standard blue background with date and time.
    I can't find any option to save the image as a lock screen wallpaper.
    Does anybody have any suggestions.
    Regards,
    Mark.

    Lock Screen background picture


    I have tried Brink, with no luck. It will not let me change the lock screen back ground picture. In the settings for lock screen I click on the picture I want and as soon as I go to the lock screen I have the standard blue background with date & time. I even tried opening the photos app and opening a specific picture then clicking set as lock screen and even that does not change the picture.
