Windows 10: Windows Update Seems to have broken my lock screen.

Hello, I am hoping this is the right section to post in. It seems that a new Windows 10 update has broken my lock screen.

The lock screen background is no longer present, filled in with just a black screen with the time and date in the corner, as per usual. Pushing buttons on the keyboard no longer takes me to the log-in screen.

I have identified two potential Windows Updates that may have caused this problem.

Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3201845)
Installed 10/12/16

and

Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3200970)
Installed 09/12/16

I am more inclined to think the one installed on the 10th has caused the problem, given the problem started yesterday.

As far as I can tell, the update(s) have caused no other issues.

So, any advice?

:)

 

Maps stops navigation when phone is locked or app in background

Hi there,

the Windows Maps app on my Lumia 550 stops navigating whenever the app is in the background or the phone is locked. A "tap to resume navigation" notification appears when this happens.

I used to use Maps in my car, but with the screen turned off (locked) so I could navigate just by the voice directions. This functionality seems to have broken in a recent update. Does anyone know a workaround for this other than leaving my phone unlocked
in the car?

Google Calendar update seems to have broken calendar connectivity

Hi Elvedril.

Thank you for posting on the forum.

I understand that recent update to your calendar providers service is

causing an issue on your Windows Phone Device.

In that situation if using the standard Add Acount procedure does not work:

My recommendation would be to follow the Export, Import procedure for transferring

the mentioned calendar onto your Microsoft Accounts one.

You can import previously exported calendar, after signing In with you Microsoft Account here:

Please follow your calendar's provider support procedure on how to export the calendar.

Thank You.

Hello The Cypher, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

If you turn on visual effects settings to prevent the lock screen background not displaying properly.

 

All of these settings are already on, and yet the problem still persists.

 

If changing the lock screen background doesn't toggle it to work again for you, then you might consider doing a system restore using a restore point dated when you believe is before this started to hopefully undo and fix this for you.
