Lock Screen not changing from "Spotlight" mode to "Picture" mode

I've looked around everywhere and I cannot still find an answer. The spotlight in my lockscreen settings won't change to the picture browse in the "Picture" mode. 

It only stays on "Spotlight" mode and I cannot do slideshow either. If there's a quick solution to this I'd love to know.

I've tried what it says and it still doesn't work. It's a small bug but a bit annoying as when I select pictures it still has the previous menu. And when I try to load the spotlight picture from selecting picture then spotlight again, it doesn't load. But any help would be nice. (Even if it includes run commands and everything)

The lock screen settings now have no option for apps to show their statuses.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your response in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

With regards with the issue that you cannot change from "Spotlight" to "Picture" mode, I suggest that you try to "Add a Folder" and check if you can make changes. 

For the recent issue, I suggest you try to "Choose an app to show detailed Status" add an app to see if it reflects  on the Lock Screen.

Hope this information helps and let us know the status of the issue we will be glad to help you further

None of that worked, sorry for the late reply but I thought that I had responded earlier. Although even after all this time it still won't change.

Hello,

Sometime corrupted User Profile will causes this kind of issues. I suggest you to add another Microsoft account by following the steps mentioned below and try to change the setting from that account to see if it takes changes.

* Click Start,

* Navigate to Settings/>Accounts/>Your Account/> Family & other users.

* On the right pane click Add someone else to this PC under Other users.

* If you have another Microsoft account try to use that or else follow the steps to sign-up for new and switch with new Microsoft account.

* Sign-out from the old and Login with new Microsoft account.

Once you're sign-in with new User Profile, then please work around and check if it helps you.

Keep us posted the outcome.
