    Lock Screen picture changing occasionally to microsoft Spotlight .


    Hi,hope everyone fine.
    just a quickie question; I notice that occasionally when booting up, my lock screen picture changes from the "picture" it is set on to Microsofts "spotlight picture", which is not set to do so in "Settings".

    Any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    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.

    Hi. I have lock Screen set to "picture". Occasionally, microsoft ignores this and places a "spotlight" picture of it's own in it's place.

    Thanks for the clarification. That's really strange . . . I've never heard of that happening. And, I don't have a clue as to why it's happening.

    Are you on the Insider Preview Program? If so, you may want to give feedback on the problem.

    Happens all the time on whatever Build, and I don't know why! I think it's MS's subtle way of reminding us: "Hey, your still renting this OS from us!"

    Work around:
    Copy LockScreen___1920_1080_notdimmed from LockScreen_A folder to LockScreen_O and LockScreen_W folders...
