## Considerations ## Custom lock screen and background images
In addition to the specific policy settings for Windows spotlight, administrators can replace Windows spotlight with a selected image using the Group Policy setting **Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **Control Panel** > **Personalization** > **Force a specific default lock screen image** (Windows 10 Enterprise and Education). You can replace the Windows spotlight lock screen and background images with a custom image. When you do so, users can still see suggestions, fun facts, tips, or organizational messages on the lock screen, but the background image will be replaced with the custom image.
>[!TIP] To configure the lock screen and background images, use the [Personalization CSP][CSP-2].

A custom image created in `16:9` aspect ratio (for example, `1600x900`) scales properly on devices using a `16:9` resolution, such as `1280x720` or `1920x1080`. On devices using other aspect ratios, such as `4:3` (`1024x768`) or `16:10` (`1280x800`), height scales correctly and width is cropped to a size equal to the aspect ratio. The image remains centered on the screen.

> Lock screen images created at other aspect ratios might scale and center unpredictably on your device when changing aspect ratios. The recommendation for custom images that include text (such as a legal statement), is to create the lock screen image in `16:9` resolution with text contained in the `4:3` region, allowing the text to remain visible at any aspect ratio.
Pay attention to the checkbox in **Options**. In addition to providing the path to the lock screen image, administrators can choose to allow or **Turn off fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on lock screen**. If the checkbox isn't selected, users will see the lock screen image that is defined in the policy setting, and will also see occasional messages. ## User experience
### Resolution for custom lock screen image When Windows spotlight is enabled, users sees a new image on the lock screen and in the background every day. The image is displayed in the background when the user logs in, and on the lock screen when the user locks the device. Users will also see suggestions, fun facts, tips, or organizational messages in different locations, such as the lock screen, the background, the taskbar, or the Get Started app. If you deploy a custom lock screen or background image, users see the custom image instead of the Windows spotlight image:
