Tidy up your PC’s lock screen with one simple step

If you’ve got annoying widgets displaying on your PC lock screen there’s a simple way you can remove them for a cleaner looking lock screen. Here’s what to do.

What to do:

• Go to Settings then click Personalization.
• Look for Lock Screen and click on it.
• Once you’re in the Lock Screen window look for Lock screen status.
• There will be a drop-down menu. Change it to “None”.

Now if you lock the PC and go back to look at the lock screen you won’t see anything. Alternatively, if you like items displayed on the lock screen, you can also change it to display one of the apps available in the drop-down menu. Just select the app you want.
