This article explains how to configure the desktop and lock screen background in Windows using policy settings. It includes examples of how to implement these configurations using Microsoft Intune, Configuration Service Provider (CSP), and Group Policy Object (GPO).

## Windows edition requirements
|

|

The configuration of the desktop and lock screen background varies based on how the policy settings are applied:

## Image ratios and scaling
|
||||
|
||||
A key consideration when using custom images is how they appear on devices with varying screen sizes and resolutions. For example, a custom image created in a 16:9 aspect ratio (such as 1600x900) scales properly on devices with 16:9 resolutions, like 1280x720 or 1920x1080. On devices with other aspect ratios, such as 4:3 (1024x768) or 16:10 (1280x800), the image's height scales correctly, but the width is cropped to match the aspect ratio. The image remains centered on the screen.

Windows Spotlight is a feature that displays beautiful images on the lock screen and desktop background. It can be configured to show different images each day, or to display a specific image. Windows Spotlight can also provide personalized content, such as tips and tricks for using Windows. To learn more about Windows Spotlight, see [Windows Spotlight for Business](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/configuration/windows-spotlight-business).

Windows spotlight is a feature that can display a different image on the lock screen and desktop background every day. Windows spotlight can also provide personalized content, such as tips and tricks for using Windows. You can configure a custom background image or lock screen image and still use Windows spotlight. When you do so, users can still receive suggestions, fun facts, tips, or organizational messages, but the background image is replaced with the custom image.

> 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.
