Windows 10 Lock Screen Not Showing Picture
Where, or what format, are the images used by Windows 10 when logged out or in lock-screen?I searched the entire drive for.jpg,.bmp,.png, and.tif but the one I was looking for did not appear.At first glance, although not exactly a duplicate, appeared to have the path I wanted. But when I went there, the pre-login image was there, but the lock-screen image was not. (And contrary to the claim in that answer, the files there did have extensions.)UPDATE: I just did a lockscreen, and got an image that IS in that directory, but earlier today, it was consistently an image of an interesting footbridge that is not in that directory. If you are not finding the images in the typical locations, you likely have Windows Spotlight turned on.
Spotlight offers random images on the lock screen, as well as other features.These Windows Spotlight images aren’t stored in the same location asregular Windows wallpaper, however, so here’s how you can find them.The images are hidden deep, so you will need to change settings before you can view them. To do this, open File Explorer and go to the View tab. On the far right is an Options button, click it.In the window that opens, select the View tab.
Under Advanced Settings, select Show hidden files, folders and drives, then click Apply and then OK to close the open window.Now it is time to navigate to the following directory (which was hidden before).This PC C: Users Your User Name AppData Local Packages Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManagercw5n1h2txyewy LocalState AssetsIn this directory you will see a bunch of files without extensions. These are the incognito image files.
Enable Windows 10 Lock Screen
Windows 10 lock screen not displaying chosen image Windows lock screen worked perfectly fine until I decided to try using the slideshow feature. After which, when booted up, the lock screen would show a picture that I did not select, presumably from spotlight. This is also something I had noticed a while back, however I didn't spend much time trying to figure it out then. At that time I noticed that Windows ignores my lock screen picture selection during shutdown and restart. However, while my machine is 'running' and if I lock the screen, it does not ignore my lock screen picture selection.
These are jpeg images of various resolutions to meet the needs of multiple devices screen sizes. You can copy the files to another location and rename them to have the jpeg extension, then you can open them with your default image viewer. In addition to the answer(s) given, I'd like to provide you with a script that instantly copies and renames the file to.jpg.

I also tried to add the weather app but it does not appear either. All I get is a solid screen with my accent color, the Press Ctrl%uFEFFAlt%uFEFFDel, time, and two status icons for network and battery.Is this a Group Policy setting?I don't think it a group policy thing because we have two machines under the same group policies and one has this issue and the other does not. We can't figure it our either.
