Lock Screen picture changing occasionally to microsoft Spotlight .

I think I may be reading wrong, Mothie. Do you have the lock screen set to a picture in Microsoft's "spotlight" or do you have one of your own pictures set as the lock screen?

When I have my lock screen set to show Microsoft Spotlight, it occasionally changes the picture; however, when I have one of my own pictures set, it never changes. Here is mine . . .





Note that I have a choice between Windows spotlight, Picture and Slideshow. I've chosen picture, used one of my own (uploaded by a member of TF) and it never changes.

 

Lock screen stuck on picture. I chose the Windows Spotlight option.

Try these steps:

• In Personalization->Lock Screen settings change Background to Picture.
• Delete everything from folder
  
  C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_<somecharacters>\Settings
• In Personalization->Lock Screen settings change Background back to Windows Spotlight
