Like the previous versions of Windows, Windows 10 also comes with beautiful pictures. It shows a default picture from Windows Spotlight as the background image of the Lock screen. Apart from the Lock screen picture, the date and time are also visible in the screen’s bottom left corner. Windows Spotlight images are downloaded from the internet and are stunning images, but they change periodically. If someone does not like the Lock Screen and wants to disable it, the same is possible by modifying Registry values or Group Policy.
