Windows 8.1 lock screen won't change
I've done a bit of research on this problem, and it seems to be quite common. I can't change my lock screen picture in Windows 8.1. Would appreciate help on this. I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5551 and am using a Windows 8.1 OS. Thanks

the video didn't work for me. It didn't really have any answer to the lockscreen problem. I had to to a reset on the computer, which took an entire day to complete. The lockscreen now works. I've found the reset process to be valuable, but extremely time consuming, as you have to reload all your apps, all the windows updates, and most of the installed programs. The lockscreen issue must have something to do with the registry which the reset process puts back to default. I've had more problems with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 than I ever thought possible. It might be time to go back to Windows 7 Professional. Now that was a system that worked well. Thanks for your help.
