    Windows lock screen shows media player controls


    My lock screen shows the Windows media player controls in the lower right-hand area. I want to turn this off because I expect more privacy about what I was listening to or viewing, and this is visible to anyone who walks by my laptop. I went to Settings for the lock screen, and there doesn't seem to be an option there. I have not selected any apps to show quick status on the lock screen, and I have turned off "fun facts, tips and more from Windows and Cortana." Something still thinks I want those media controls on the lock screen! How do I turn this off?

    :)
