How to Personalize Windows 10 Lock Screen Images

You always see the lock screen before signing in to your account on Windows 10. Although it seems like something unnecessary, it offers some useful functionalities.

For example, you can see the current date & time, calendar events, and notifications from other apps in the lock screen. In addition, you can also interact with Cortana, and use Windows Spotlight to showcase your personal pictures, favorite background images, and beautiful images from Bing.
You can see the lock screen on your Windows operating system with two methods. The first one is that the computer starts up normally and waits for your input to select the user at the lock screen. The second one is that you lock the screen by using Windows + L or through the timeout settings.
Method 1: Change Background to Windows Spotlight
You can use the following method to personalize Windows 10 lock screen images.
1. Press the Windows Key+ I keys at the same time to launch the Settings application on your Windows.
2. Then click Personalization, and click the Lock screen tab.

3. Now, click the drop-down menu of the Windows spotlight.
Once you've completed the steps, the Lock screen will now include a new image every time that you sign in to your account.
Method 2: Change Background to a Picture
1. Press the Windows Key+ I keys at the same time to launch the Settings application on your Windows.
2. Then click Personalization, and click the Lock screen tab.
3. Use the Background drop-down menu, and select the Picture option.

4. Click the Browse button to locate the image you want to use.
Method 3: Setting a Slideshow
1. Press the Windows Key+ I keys at the same time to launch the Settings application on your Windows.
2. Then click Personalization, and click the Lock screen tab.
3. Use the Background drop-down menu, and select the Slideshow option.

4. Select the Pictures item..
5. Click the Add a folder button.
6. Browse the location of the folder with images that you want to showcase in the Lock screen.
7. Select the folder. Click the Choose this folder button.

If you want to customize the experience further, click the Advanced slideshow settings option, and select enable or disable the options that you want to use while showing a collection of photos in the Lock screen, including:

• Include Camera Roll folders from this PC and OneDrive: In addition to the folders you selected, turning on this toggle switch, the Lock screen will also display images stored in your Camera Roll and OneDrive Camera Roll folders, which usually include the photos from your phone and other devices.
• Only use pictures that fit my screen: If you have multiple sizes of images in the folder, only those that will fit the screen will be displayed.
• When my PC is inactive, show lock screen instead of turning off the screen: This option is similar to setting up a screensaver on Windows 10. In addition, you can use the drop-down menu to specify when to turn off the screen after the slideshow played for a period of time.
