When you lock your PC, Windows displays status icons for some apps. For example, the status icon for the Mail app shows the number of unread messages. The Lock screen also shows any new notifications that appear for the Calendar app, such as an upcoming appointment. If you lock your computer frequently, you can make the Lock screen even more useful by adding icons for other apps, including ones that support notifications.

Before getting started, you need to understand the difference between a quick status and a detailed status on the Lock screen:

 Quick status. This means that the Lock screen shows only a small icon for an app, and that icon displays some sort of indication that you have new, unread, or pending items in the app. For example, the Mail app shows the number of unread email messages. You can display a quick status for up to seven apps.

 Detailed status. This means that the Lock screen shows more information from the app. For example, if you have an upcoming event in the Calendar app, the Lock screen shows the details of that event, including the event title, location, and time. You can display the detailed status for only a single app.

Follow these steps to control which applications appear on the Lock screen:

1 Open the Settings app.

2 Click Personalization. The Personalization settings appear.

3 Click Lock Screen. The Lock Screen settings appear.

4 To choose which app displays its detailed status, click the button that appears under the Choose One App to Show Details Status on the Lock Screen heading, then choose an app from the list that appears. If you don’t want to see a detailed status, click None.

5 To set a quick status icon for an app, click a button that appears under the Choose Which Apps Show Quick Status on the Lock Screen heading, then choose an app from the list that appears. If you don’t want an app associated with the icon, you can click None.

6 Repeat Step 5 to set the other quick status icons. Windows puts the new settings into effect, and the apps will now appear on the Lock screen.
