Lock Screen Image

Hi,
I am using Nokia Lumia 920 and have set the Lock screen to take pictures from Custom Facebook Folders. But this is not happening. It shows a Black empty screen when I try to unloack the device. I verified that the Mobile data is active and Facebook is running in Background.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Rahul

Its Off.
Also this happens some times... and some of the times the same works

How to get back default Lock Screen Image of Windows 8.1

I recently upgraded windows 8 to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image . I tried for default lock screen of windows 8.1.I can't find any default lock screen
images of windows 8.1 (Only custom images are available). How to get default lock screen images? Does any any one know? please help me..

The last "solution" works only for pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and clicking
Lock. If you sign out of Windows and sign back in, that ghastly Windows 8.1 lock screen picture will come back.
You can delete the img100.png file from your WinSxS folder: right lick on this file, click Properties, click the Security tab, click Edit, click Add, type your Windows user name in the white rectangle under "Enter the object
name to select", click Check Names, click OK, then click Advanced, click Change, take ownership of the file, give yourself Full control over this file, click Apply and then OK. You may see your name three times in the Security tab (as user, administrator,
and yourself). Make sure that each instance has full Control
If this does not work, you can disable the Lock Screen: press Windows+R, type
gpedit.msc, click OK, in the Local Group Policy Editor window that opens click on Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization, right click on the "Do not display the lock screen" option, click
Edit, check Enabled, then click Apply and OK.
This, however, is a workaround rather than a real solution, which, it seems, Microsoft does not have.
I have exactly the same issue with the horrid stripey thing. Furthermore, in Settings, Lock Screen Preview is completely blank both on current and past images.
I've tried all the tips I've found around the web with no success. I get the horrid stripey thing back.
I found this freeware called Lock Screen Customizer. Seems to work so far but time will tell. (Note that the download includes both win8 and win8.1 versions.)

Scaling lock screen image

I am having a problem with my lock screen image after upgrading to IOS 7. I liek to have emergency contact info displayed. I have used a couple of different ICE programs that create an image int he camera roll that can then be set as the lock screen image. WHile I am selecting the image under Settings -> Wallpapers & Brightness, it says "Move and Scale". I can move or pinch operatiosn but as soon as I take my finger off, the iamge springs back to the original. The result is that some of the text is cut off at the edge of the display.
I have also looked at the iamges under the Photos app. When I jsut view the iage, I get the same left edge cutoff. But when I go into Edit mode, I see all the text.

You may try Group Policy Editor to prevent this.
Press Win+X Keys to launch Run menu.
Type in gpedit.msc in the blank space of Run menu and hit the Enter key.
Now expand Administrative Tools > Control Panel > Personalization > Prevent changing lock screen image.
Prevents users from changing the background image shown when the machine is locked.
By default, users can change the background image shown when the machine is locked.
If you enable this setting, the user will not be able to change their lock screen image, and they will instead see the default image.

Windows 8.1 Force a specific default lock screen image

Hi,
at the moment we are preparing the win 8.1 rollout in our environment.
Now we tried to customize the lock screen image.
There we are facing the issue that the image does not get correctly resized to different screen resolutions.
Therefore we are using a image with a resolution of 2160x1440 pixels.
Does anybody have an idear how tho fix this ?
Thanks in advanced,
Thomas

Hi,
Based on my test, when user customizing the lock screen picture, system would create a new folder under the following path:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\S-1-5-21-1765481211-944569940-2390947737-1001\ReadOnly\
and create a folder for the new lock screen picture which named in sequence, such as LockScreen_A, B, etc.
In the LockScreen folder, system would generate some series pixels picture for this lock screen picture. However, when you change screen resolution, There might be a problem.
In my opinion, you can try to use a picture which resolutioin same with system default lockscreen picture for test:

Restore lock screen image

I was wondering if anyone knows how to restore the lock screen wallpaper (Water droplets) for the iPhone 4. I changed my image and now want to reset it. Please help.
Thanks,
Roy

Roy - If you're talking about the grey with water droplets, it's the first option in the included wallpapers. Click Settings / Wallpaper. Then, click the less than symbol ">". Then, click Wallpaper and take your pick.

Choosing Lock Screen image

Hi
I wish to change the image used for the Lock Screen in Windows 8.1. When I try I am unable to navigate to the folder that contains the image I wish to use. Instead the Libraries are shown. Where is the Browse button that will allow me to navigate the computer
and choose the image I wish to use? I have many thousands of images, and several folders are not included within the Libraries.
Thanks

Hi,
If my understanding is right, we could use the browse button to choose the pictures in the computer.
Please take the following steps to change the lock screen picture.
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap
Change PC settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click
Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
2. Tap or click PC and devices, then tap or click Lock screen.
3. If you want to use just one photo on your lock screen, tap or click
Browse, and then choose the picture you want (you can choose photos on your PC or OneDrive).
For more information, please refer to the following article.

Magnified lock screen image

Is they an easier way not to make my lock screen wallpaper image not magnified?

Also make sure that none of the items in Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut are checked.

Resume from suspend - Background & Lock Screen image corruption

I have a Dell Vostro 3700.
The OS is Arch 64 bit. I am using Nvidia-340xx and kernel 3.17.4-1.
When I resume from suspend my lock screen and wallpaper images look like static on a TV.
If the img tag doesnt post the image...here is my imgur link to what it looks like. http://imgur.com/xnftjFC
Thank you.

thiagowfx wrote:Would reloading the wallpaper solve your problem? For example, with feh. If yes, maybe you could reload it automatically every time you exit from suspend.
Reloading the wallpaper actually does do the trick. The feh method will most likely work.
i3lock && systemctl suspend
The i3lock produces the same results. Interesting lock screen btw.
I didn't have this problem until the upgrade when I had to use 'nvidia-340xx' instead off 'nvidia' for my drivers. Obviously that was quite a while ago and since then I have re-installed arch from scratch a few times and each time, it was the same issue.

Lock Screen Custom Image Stuck on Load for Windows 8.1

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image. I tried re-applying it but the lock screen preview in the settings is stuck on a load loop. Does anyone know why that is and why it won't set my custom image as the
new lock screen image?

Hi all,
I've experienced the same issue and it disappeared after doing some weird steps.
First about the problem:
I have Surface Pro tablet, updated to Windows 8.1 many months ago. However yesterday this issue happened for the first time (not sure what triggered it) and continued today as well, even after restarting:
- Charms bar > Settings > Personalize. Click on background color or Accent color palette to try to change color: the pane and Start menu behind freezes and doesn't react on anything except for pressing Windows button on tablet, that throws back to
desktop. But when you return to that menu it appears the color has been changed after all (as much as could have been done in one click before it froze).
- Can't change lock screen: I didn't move the image selected there and previous images, they are still located at the same folder. But after selecting an image loading wheel spins and image never updates.
Fix:
After reading here that this replicates with account picture for some people, I wanted to check this on my tablet as well. My account picture shown the current image and 2 previous images to the right. When clicking first of those, nothing changed. When
clicking on the second one it shown the image from the first selected as account picture, and vice versa - when clicking on the first again it shown the second pic selected as account picture. After browsing and selecting other image, it didn't update in account
picture, but after going out from the menu and back again it appeared that the account image updated after all.
After that all started working normal again - can select account picture, change lock screen and personalize without problems. Weird, but it worked.

Change default logon/startup/lock screen in windows 8 pro

Hi,
I want to change my default logon screen, the one that appears when I boot. I have changed the lock screen within my account, but I can't change the one (that I beleive is) for the default user. I have seen some complicated steps to copy over a file
in systemdata folder for the default user profile, but It seems really awful to do it in my notebook (which is not joined to a domain, and it is Windows 8 Pro). So, is there a simple way to do it? Why my personalized lock screen isn't shown?
Regards,
MarianoC.

Thanks MarianoC, you got me closer to solving my lock screen problem. Sorry about your lock screen presets issue, glad that is not an issue for me, as I see you have given up. I wanted to post my more detailed solution description
here, since this was one of the fist places I landed while researching this.
I fixed mine by replacing the default Lock Screen image files.
You can find them here C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\S-1-5-18\ReadOnly
Caution---You have to have hidden files visible, and you also have to understand how to take ownership of folders and assign ownership and permissions (it's not that difficult, search if
you don't know how).
I had 2 folders in that location W and Z;
The W folder already had my selected Lock Screen picture.
The W folder may have been the result of a previous tweak I tried, it had the newer photo I had selected already, if your W doesn’t have your photo and you have issues maybe replace it too.
If you don’t have a W folder I wouldn’t sweat it for now.
I had my luck with the Z folder, it contained the default space needle picture in 2 versions; dimmed and plain (I didn't look for a visual difference).
I replaced both of them with my chosen lock screen picture.
There are 2 ways to do this;
1st is to rename your original file (add a 1 to the name, you can go back to original easier this way). Replace it with picture of your choosing with the exact same name as original.
You must assign full permission to the system account.
Warning. This method seems safer but I could not figure out how to assign permission to the trusted installer account, which existed previously for this file, this could inhibit some future compatibility.
2nd way preserves system and trusted installer permissions.
Create your lock screen pictures in a separate folder, with exactly the same names as your 2 original files.
Copy/Paste the files into the Z folder, you will get asked to replace existing.
If you say yes it should preserve security settings but update the photo.

Custom lock screen GPO not working for domain users

You can change your lock screen image though.

Lock Screen Preview

Hello,
I have been trying for the past hour to change my lock screen preview. For some reason, when I turned on my laptop today, it had changed the lock screen to a picture that looks like a beehive. I want to change the lock screen to a picture that I have saved on my laptop. Every time that I try to do this under settings and change pc settings, the image never loads nor will it let me select a default theme that comes with the computer. When I try to do the picture option, it shows the pink loading dot circle thing and it never actually loads my picture into the preview. I have tried restarting my laptop, yet I still experience the same problem. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thank you.

@mwebb21
Can you verify for me the full product number and OS version of your notebook? Please read the following documents if you need help in finding those.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Normally I ask that first if someone does not include it in their original post, but it seems I must have been distracted somehow. Oh well, such is life. Anyway, once I have that info, I will be better able to target my answers for you.
A few other quick questions, when you try to make your changes are you logged in with an account with administrator access?
Also do you have a screen shot of the exact error that you got when you tried to change the lock screen image?
