Windows lockscreen picture not working!

[FireLegend]

Hi!

Again problem after problem but this time it isn't something major. I've been stuck on this for actually a few months now... we all love Windows looking more let's say, out there, and personalisation is definitely what suits me. Today I just found my lockscreen just not my interests and something that'll make me ooh when I see it. Anyways enough talking. The problem is I want to personalise it and have a picture that ill like on it and whenever i try and browse... and select the picture file it just loads in a continous loop. I tried even changing the file format from .webp to .jpg and .jpeg and both still do the same. To be fair i do feel a bit stupid writing this now because I didn't actually try compressing it to 8mb but there we have it and now my heads got a bit tangled In a knot. Any help, videos, suggestions etc... Will be truly helpful and appreciate you putting time into helping me. 

Many thanks!

Yeah the windows spotlight is all good! I just found it boring ill still use it if I really have to just wondering why that's happening.

what i do is... open the picture... right click... "set as" --> "background and lockscreen"

 

works every time and ive never really tried other methods ("browse"......?)

 

you can afterwards do the same for background picture just this time choose --> "set as background"

I don't understand how to get at set as background and lockscreen but I've tried this:

I've got to admit it. I am stupid not actually compressing the image because I've just got it working sorry for wasting your time
