Lockscreen issues on Windows 8.1

This is interesting. For me the problem was a missing key. It looks as if the "ImageId_A” key is missing or if it has invalid data that it breaks the lockscreen code. Just creating a REG file with the following was sufficient to fix it for me. You don't even need the "Details_A" part, but it's probably smarter to add it in just in case. The values don't have to be what was inserted below (from the original solution), but they work just fine. You could make the value the same as in the ImageID_B key if you prefer that.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lock Screen]

"ImageId_A"="{9F5E9C6C-8359-4271-81D0-2B72817D3CDF}"

"Details_A"="ROAMING"

I have seen and tried this before. I also have repeatedly responded that this does not resolve my issue.

1. First, open the registry using Regedit.exe.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lock Screen
3. Right-click on the folder and select Export.
4. Save this as a backup incase this doesn't work for you.
5. Copy the text in my last post, starting with Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00, into Notepad.
6. Save the file as Update.reg.
7. Right-click on the file and select merge.
8. If you hit F5 in Regedit, you should see the new fields added.
9. Try to set your lock screen, You may have to close it down first then restart the settings for it to take affect.

I have tried similar registry keys from working computers.

The result was nothing changed. My particular LockScreen is "frozen". No amount of registry changes can unfreeze it.
