Is it possible to change the lock screen wallpaper?

Have tried to find an API to handle this, but have not found.  Someone knows how to do this?

There is no official API at the moment, so I'm curious as well about how they do it.

  • When I try to change my lock screen wallpaper I get error saying "setting of the lock screen has failed. Please try again ".

    Original title: locking error screen

    Hello. I use Win 8 Pro x 64 and I'm having a problem affecting the lock screen wallpaper. I am the admin of the machine and Windows is activated.

    After a few days ago, Windows stopped to change my lock screen background. When I try to change it, the error is displayed on the screen:

    LOCK SCREEN ERROR

    Setting the lock screen has failed. Please try again.
    However, I can still change my profile picture and the bottom of the start menu.
    Other users of the computer can change the lock screen normally. My user account is linked to my Outlook.com account as well as others.
    I already tried the other 'solutions' out there: in doing a selective startup with msconfig, disable services applications at startup and also manually delete the folder "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData". Needless.
    I also have the feeling of other users on the web: it's somehow connected to some Windows updated published these days.
    I would appreciate any help on this matter.

    Hi, Tadasha. Thanks for the reply.

    In regards to KB 2770917 updates, I already installed it on my Win 8 as well as others (I keep the OS always up to date). So it has not really helped but thanks.
    On the tip of the gob0nkers is not really the case here, because I don't want to set a wallpaper of single lock for each user (in fact I had already read his answer to the question of ch). So far I have found no article on the web by offering an effective way to work around the problem.
    What I've done: created another user profile and abandoned the old (who introduced the problem). I think that it is related to the file the user AppData or something.
    So far things are working well with the new profile of the user.
    Thanks for the help!

    Is it possible to use a slideshow of images like the lock screen? Also, is there a way to get photos of screen lock to rotate automatically so that whenever I have lock the computer, a different image is used for the lock screen?

    Hello

    There is no option to rotate the image of the lock screen.

    You can set a custom lock screen picture.

    On the Start screen , press the Windows key + I , and then select the option change PC settings .

    At the top of the window, click on the link of the lock screen .

    Click on the Browse button and navigate to a custom image to use.

    This custom image appears only when you log in or lock the system.

    If you choose to switch accounts, disconnection, or any other function which shows other accounts, the default lock screen image show.

    There are a few third party there settings that alter this behavior, but I have found no still works.

    I have problem when trying to change my lock screen and my account picture... When I try to change it, the error pops out saying that

    "Setting the lock screen has failed, try again later."

    Already looking for a solution to the internet, but all this does not at all... So I just hope that this community will help me with this problem...

    The screenshot of the error:

    Hi Sam,

    I apologize for the delay in response.

    It is unfortunate that your problem is still not resolved. I would suggest trying the following methods and check to see if they help.


    Method 1: Use the registry editor

    1. Press on the key of the Windows Logo + R.
    2. Type regedit.
    3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Desktop/NameSpace.
    4. Find the key: {B4FB3F98-C1EA-428d-A78A-D1F5659CBA93}.
    5. Double-click on the default value in the right pane and the value on others.

    If this does not resolve your problem, there are corruptions in the system folders. I try to check the use of method 2.


    Method 2: Scan SFC

    Verification of the file system (CFS) is a utility built into the operating system that will check for the corruption of system files. The sfc/scannow command. (System File Check) analyzes the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect versions, damaged, altered, or damaged with correct versions where possible.

    To do this please follow the article below

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

    Just reply with SFC scan results.
