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

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.

  • 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!

  • There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)

    After you have created a new Apple ID (my previous one makes use of an e-mail address that no longer exists) and change the password (for security), I tried to download an update from the App Store. First, I got the message: 'there was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)". Now, I'm getting "update not available with this Apple ID - this update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled.»

    I deleted all cookies, caches, disconnected, connected again, power and turn it on again and waited.

    The problem persists.

    What should I do?

    Please log out of the App Store and reconnect. Try to update again. If there is no change, you can try to update an application that has been purchased (or free downloaded for free) using an another Apple ID check your purchase history to see if the app is included. If it isn't, you will have either to connect with the ID used to buy it, or remove it and buy it again - and Yes, you will have to pay again.

  • Family Safety: could not connect to the site Web Family Safety - "try again later".

    I am connected to MSLive with my account, the same one that I am connected to help with this issue.  I also see my mailbox outlook.com, so that my account is active and works very well. When I go to familysafety.microsoft.com, the URL bar changes several times, then I get a screen that says:

    Something was wrong and we cannot connect you right now. Please try again later.

    This problem occurred for me on three computers, more an iPad and an iPhone, so I don't think it's a problem of the cache of the browser or something like that.

    My son, who uses his computer with installed parental control, trying to send a request by e-mail to me to approve a site that he wants to visit. It also gets an error message by. Family Safety properly blocking sites that I programmed to block, so that part works.

    I did a chat live with a person with MS, which I linked to a response that did not work, then it disconnected. I spoke with another person who told me to call 1-800-642-7676 again. I did, but all the options that I chose was told to visit a Web site or another, then disconnected. So now I'm here.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you.

  • Lock screen has changed

    This isn't a huge problem, and I don't know if it was an update or if I changed it in the settings or if someone else has that

    the lock screen used to look like "droid lock 1" and now it looks like «droid lock 2 "»

    Sorry for bad quality on the 2nd picture... If u can't see it, the first lock is like a bow. The second lock is straight

    The lock screen has changed when the OTA is out the month last around 11. But it seems that you have added a different wallpaper.

  • Problem access to Microsoft Outlook ("Hotmail") & other Microsoft sites, "something went wrong, try again later."

    I have Windows 7 and almost always use Firefox (latest version).

    Is my current problem #1 by writing an email a little notice popped up saying my session has expired (which has never happened before) and disconnected me (also never happened before).  On trying to reconnect, I kept getting the message "something went wrong, try again later."  It's the exact message I received whenever I try to access any Microsoft website.  On a hunch, I opted for Chrome and has managed to get into my email and this site.  Any idea what could be the cause, and if it's fixable?

    In addition, with both my usual phone (currently disabled) and backup phone, I can't access my email either.  They are both phones 'below basic', but the problems only started at the beginning of this year.  The message still says "untrusted certificates" or something like that.  No telephone company could understand it.
