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!
