Lockscreen Wallpaper No matter what I change my desktop wallpaper to, my lockscreen wallpaper doesn't change. I have tried going to the Desktop Pictures folder in Library/Caches but each time, the lockscreen.png file automatically updated the image on it's own. It's just not what is actually being displayed on the lockscreen wallpaper. I have tried using apple wallpapers and custom photos but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Please help. also the device listed underneath is wrong, it should be macbook pro.

Lock Screen wallpaper BigSur version 11.3 Yesterday I updated my Macbook Air to Big Sur 11.3 version. Before I did it, when I turn on my MacBook, the Lock Screen wallpaper was the same of my desktop screen wallpaper. Now, when I Turn it on, shows the typical Big Sur screen protector and I can not find an option to change it. I would like to personalize my own Lock Screen wallpaper.

Wallpaper when plugged into monitor Hello! When I plug my Macbook Air M2 into a monitor through HDMI my wallpaper changes to a picture I had set 5 years ago. Is there a way to change this to my current wallpaper? Thanks
