WC Community Question: Do You Change Your Lock Screen Image?

from WinCustomize Forums

I used to enjoy changing the login or lock screen on Windows. We had LogonStudio which was a great tool for customization, but as Windows progressed versions the ability to customize it was pretty much gone. In Windows 10 you can set to your selected image or slideshow or use the Windows Spotlight feature which picks a daily image for you to display. You can also select certain apps that will show a quick status on the screen such as your calendar or mail app.

I usually don't pay much attention to the lock screen as when I boot my PC up, I'm trying to get right to the desktop. When I notice the lock screen sometimes, I'll usually just change image to something for the current season and that'll be it.

I just wanted to ask the question if anyone takes the time to change their lock screen, or gives it much attention?

I just hit space bar to get the password box and off I go, I maybe see the login screen for 10 seconds ?  So honestly, no, not getting much attention from me. o_O

I don't even use the lock screen, never see it.

I usually end up with one there that I like and it stays for a couple of months.  I do change them every once in awhile though.  It's a good place for wallpapers that I like but really don't want to constantly have in front of me.

I use sleep on my machine and it ALWAYS wakes up to the Lock Screen. Thus I have it set to Windows Spotlight. The most attention I give it, being a non-swimmer, is to use the "I like it" or "Not a Fan" options for the "Like What You See?" on the upper right side. This is mainly to have it "cycle through" the shots with deep, dark open bodies of water to get rid of them.
