Hi Coth,


Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

• Could you please help me with the make and model of the display you are using?
  
• Which graphic card is installed in the computer?
  

Meanwhile, please follow the troubleshooting steps as mentioned below:

Steps: Check the resolution settings.

1. Click on the Settings icon from the start menu.
   
2. Click on System > Click on
   Display on the left pane.
3. Select the resolution as 3840×2160 (4K)
   from the drop down list.
4. Click on Keep changes and restart the computer to check the issue.

I suggest you to update the display drivers. You can follow this article on 'Update
drivers in Windows 10' and check if it works out for you. For more information, you can check the article on
Configure Windows Spotlight on the lock screen.


Hope it helps.

Windows spotlight images (Lock screen)

This is really dumb, but if you are like me and use spotlight for your windows lock screen images, I actually tend to like some of them alot. They rotate it seems every few days but it doesn't seem to delete them as often as it gets new ones.

With that said I couldnt find anything similar online so I made a script that would pull the files from the folder buried in app data that keeps the files. They dont have an extension normally so I append the JPG extension too them.

I create a folder on your desktop called spotlight and copy the files too it then run the conversion.

I didn't spend forever on this so be nice but otherwise;

Enjoy
