Windows 10: Windows 11 lock screen change

Is it possible for windows 11 home users to rotate multiple photos as the lock screen wallpaper? I want different images to be shown on the lockscreen page every time. I selected Slideshow to do this, but it didn't work. I also saw a post that said I can customise the lock screen and background images in the Windows Spotlight setting by using Personalisation CSP. But I'm not a computer expert so I don't know how to do this. Can anyone give me some advice on this?

Lock Screen keeps changing

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Windows Spotlight picks the photos from Bing and displays them in the lock screen. I understand that you have set a picture and it is getting changed automatically.

I suggest you to follow the steps to select the Picture that you want to be displayed on the lock screen. Please follow the steps mentioned below to set a Picture to lock screen:

1. Press and hold Windows + I key on the keyboard to open settings.
   
2. Click on Personalization.
   
3. Click on Lock screen.
   
4. Click on the drop down under Background and select
   Picture.
   
5. Click on Browse and select the picture that you want to set.
   

Hope it helps.

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Can't change windows 11 lock screen

The lock screen on my Windows 11 Home changed from the Microsoft pictures (Windows spotlight) to the Windows logo. When I try to change the option in the personalization settings the lock screen option is grayed-out and there is a message that settings are managed by my organization. The only change I made was to add the laptop to my home workgroup.

Can anyone suggest how to fix this issue?

Thanks!
