<h4>I have made a fresh Windows 10 1607 &lpar;Anniversary Update&rpar; installation and everything worked well for couple of weeks&period; After a while I have noticed that I have only a black lock screen when using the Windows Spotlight&period;<&sol;h4>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;wincert&period;net&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2016&sol;11&sol;spotlight2&period;png"><img class&equals;"alignnone size-full wp-image-1962" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;wincert&period;net&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2016&sol;11&sol;spotlight2&period;png" alt&equals;"spotlight2" width&equals;"640" height&equals;"360" &sol;><&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Black screen will only show Spotlight wallpaper info with &&num;8220&semi;Like what you see&&num;8221&semi; feedback option and clock and date&period; Once I click on any button that brings me to the login screen I can see the Spotlight picture in the background&comma; but not on the actual lock screen&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>What&&num;8217&semi;s strange is that I can see the wallpaper on the lock screen when the PC is started for the first time&period;  After you lock the PC or if it goes to sleep&comma; after it resumes it will display a black screen&period; I have even tried to change the lock screen settings to a static picture instead of the Windows Spotlight but I got the same results&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The only thing I have discovered so far is to change the &&num;8220&semi;<strong>Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen<&sol;strong>&&num;8221&semi; from ON to OFF&period; With this set the lock screen will now display the Spotlight wallpaper properly&comma; but once you click to get the login prompt you will see the current accent background color or a custom color you have set&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;wincert&period;net&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2016&sol;11&sol;spotlight3&period;png"><img class&equals;"alignnone size-full wp-image-1963" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;wincert&period;net&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2016&sol;11&sol;spotlight3&period;png" alt&equals;"spotlight3" width&equals;"458" height&equals;"187" &sol;><&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Right click on the desktop and select &&num;8220&semi;Personalize&&num;8221&semi;&comma; select &&num;8220&semi;Lock Screen&&num;8221&semi; and then change the &&num;8220&semi;<strong>Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen<&sol;strong>&&num;8221&semi; from ON to OFF&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>I presume this is a bug that came with the Anniversary update and so far I haven&&num;8217&semi;t find the complete solution&period; If you have managed to fix this&comma; please post your solution in the comments below&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
