Windows 10: Why lock Screen showing Desktop Icons?

Earlier today, I noticed that even though Windows was still locked, my lock screen background was displaying my desktop icons and background instead of the lock screen background. It only happened one time - now when I lock it, the lock screen background is displayed like normal.I was wondering if anyone has seen this issue occur before or if it is a newer bug of some kind.Here some specsell laptopWindows 10 home version 20H22nd monitor: Duex Pro connected via USBThanks, it's no big deal just curious

Hi Richard,

To help you better provide us with the information below.

• Which build is currently running on your computer?
• Did you make any recent software changes on your computer?

As an initial step I would suggest you Right click on Desktop Window> View > Check Shows desktop icons, check if the desktop icons are back on desktop.

Check if the Icons or files are available in the My Documents>Desktop folder, check if icons are visible in the folder.

Get back to us with the updated status of the issue for further assistance.
