  1. Why wont my files show up when I try to customize my lock screen?


    Every time I try to add a new file for the slideshow feature, and open up the file, no files show up. I've tried to redownload the files, to change them to a different file format, I've tried Googling the question, but nothing is working. Maybe this question has come up a lot I don't know I'm new to Microsoft and Windows all together an avid Chromebook user here.. so if anyone might know why my files aren't showing u please let me know, I'm starting to feel like I'm going in circles here.

    :)

    Cannot locate custom Lock Screen images in W10 Pro 1809

    Success.

    Here is the solution, but it is imperative to proceed carefully.
    There are also a couple of final steps that are missing and I had to think about it.

    Retrieve Custom Windows 10 Lock Screen Image - Super User

    This must be done as Administrator (True Administrator account) -

    You must add "Administrator" to the additional fields not listed to get through the permission issues caused by NTFS.

    Edit - I'm posting the missing steps:

    There's quite a bit going on here, but the important item to understand is that for each "picture" folder, you need to add yourself as Administrator.
    Just click on "Select a principal" and enter Administrator as the Object Name for each folder you wish to gain access to.

    Hope this helps. Thanks for your help, Shawn.

    Microsoft should not have any user going through this just to find a picture. It is insanity.

    Lock vs Login screen screenshot

    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
