Setting a picture on the Photos tile or lock screen
The Photos tile is a live tile. This means that pictures will appear on the tile, and they will change regularly. This is a nice feature, unless there are pictures you don’t want to see on the Start screen that are also in your Pictures folder! If you’d like a single picture to appear on the Photos tile, you can set one. You can also set a photo to be the picture you see on the lock screen.
Set a picture on the Photos tile or lock screen
In the Photos app, browse to a picture to set as the Photo app tile or the lock screen.
Click the picture to use to open it in full-screen mode.
Right-click the screen.
Click Set As.
Click Photos Tile or Lock Screen.
