Personalization features are a strong focus in Windows 11 that allow for a much more pleasurable user experience; the lock screen being one of these features. This article depicts the steps necessary to customize the lock screen picture to the user’s taste.
1. Right-click on the Start button, typically found at the lower left corner of the screen, then click on Settings.
2. Click on Personalization.
3. On the options listed here under Personalization, click on Lock screen.
4. Click on the drop-down menu under "Personalize your lock screen" and choose the desired background setting.
There are three different types of background settings for the lock screen:
- Windows Spotlight - A new picture is shown at various times directly from Microsoft.
- Picture – This will show a still picture, which can be changed by using the Browse photos button and selecting a specific picture.
- Slideshow - A slideshow of pictures through a folder(s); you can add a folder by selecting Browse and remove one by highlighting the folder and then selecting Remove
Once the background setting has been chosen and the desired folder(s) or picture has been selected, the settings window can now be closed and the lock screen personalization is complete.
