Your Windows 8.1 isn't updating the lock screen, and the account icon is refusing to accept any photos you try to set.

The account picture limits are 5mb with a suggested size of 448x448. Have you encountered any issues after updating? Please check the system and application logs in the Event Viewer. There could be a problem related to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Systemdata directory. Additional details would be useful.

Some users on non-tablet devices rely on the lockscreen, but you’ve turned it off and now the system starts directly from the home screen.

I’m not familiar with Windows beyond basic usage. I can help with anything else you need.

This update version might trigger this lock screen option. Several users have encountered the same problem.
