    Windows Lock screen background


    In PERSONALISATION I have the Lock Screen background set to 'Windows spotlight' but I just get the standard background looking out of a cave at two rocks in the sea. Why don't I get the changing backgrounds that I have to 'Like'?

    I did find the pictures themselves with long file names in a c:\users sub directory.

    :)

  2. Black lock screen

    Using latest Windows 10 (ver 1607 14393.187) 64bit. Using Windows Spotlight for Lock screen.

    If "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" is off, lock screen has background picture, sign-in does not; this is correct.

    If it is on, then lock screen background is black (date etc is OK) and sign-in has the lock screen background picture. Lock screen should have picture, not black.

  3. Cannot change log-in screen backgound in Windows 10

    I have a custom photo as my lock screen background. I've found instructions that indicate that the lock screen background can also be set as the log-in screen background by going to settings-personalization-lock screen and then page down and there is an
    option to set the log-in screen to the lock screen background. However, I have no such option in my personalization-lock screen settings. My only option is to either turn on or turn off "show Windows background picture on sign-on screen". There is no option
    for anything other than to either turn on or off the Windows background picture - no option to set the log-in (sign-in) screen to any other image.

    I've been unable to find any solution to this issue. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Windows Lock screen background

    Same here but I have the red plane wing background, no "do you like this picture" option either, I've tried all the suggestions (SFC, DSIM, deleting the contents of the Assets folder & allowing the folder to repopulate - which it didn't) non of which worked, created a new user & spotlight did work with that but want it to work on my main account.
    It seems impossible to be using a different folder than the assets one it should as the plane wing (& the beach arch scene) is found elsewhere.
    I'm not too bothered but I dislike not knowing why it's not working.
