Changing the picture for your lock screen is easy. (See the nearby sidebar “Individualized lock screens” for details about the difference between your lock screen and the system’s lock screen.) Customizing the picture is a favorite trick at Windows 11 demos, so you know it must be easy, right? Here’s how:

1  Click or tap the start icon (shown in the margin), the Settings icon, and then Personalization.

2 On the right, choose Lock Screen.The lock screen's preview window appears.

3 In the Personalize Your Lock Screen drop-down list, try Windows Spotlight, if it’s available (see Figure 2-3).Windows Spotlight images come directly from Microsoft — more specifically, from Bing — and change frequently. Microsoft reserves the right to put advertising on Windows Spotlight screens to tell you about features in Windows 11 that you might not have used yet.FIGURE 2-3: Change your lock screen here.

4 In the Personalize Your Lock Screen drop-down list, choose Picture and do the following:Choose a picture. You have two options. If you like one of the pictures on offer, click or tap it. If you’d rather find your own picture, click or tap Browse Photos, and choose a picture of your own, as shown in Figure 2-4.Decide whether you want your chosen picture to be overlaid with “fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen.” Oh goodie.FIGURE 2-4: Choose your own picture, with or without Microsoft advertising.

5 If you would rather have a slideshow for the lock screen, choose Slideshow in the Personalize Your Lock Screen drop-down list and do the following:Click or tap Browse.Choose a folder containing pictures. This option ties into the albums in the Windows 11 Photos app (see Book 4, Chapter 3). You can instead use your own folder of pictures.Scroll down to the Advanced Slideshow Settings section and set the rules for your slideshow. As shown in Figure 2-5, you can set whether the slideshow should be pulled from your camera roll, whether the chosen pictures have to be large enough to fit your screen, and more.You’re finished. There’s no Apply or OK button to click or tap.
