People love to check the weather. On your phone, smartwatch, or computer, it’s nice to have easy access to this information. Windows 10 and Windows 11 allow you to put the weather on the Lock Screen.
For Windows 10
To add Weather to the Windows 10 Lock Screen, here’s a summary.
Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen > Change the background to “Windows Spotlight” > Choose “Weather” as the app to display.
Now, for the details. First, open Settings on your Windows 10 PC and go to the Personalization section. Refer to the below image:
Next, select the Lock Screen section. See the below image:
Now, make sure the Background drop-down menu is set to Windows spotlight. See the following image:
Next, select the app icon under the text that reads: Choose one app to show detailed status on the lock screen. Refer to the below image:
Now, choose Weather from the list of available apps. See the below image:
That’s all there is to it! The weather information will be shown underneath the clock and the date on the Lock Screen.
For Windows 11
To add Weather to the Windows 11 Lock Screen, here’s a summary.
Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen > Choose “Weather” for the “Lock Screen Status” feature.
Note! You need to have Microsoft’s MSN Weather app installed for this to be available.
First, open Settings on your Windows 11 PC and select Personalization. See the following image:
Now, go to the Lock Screen section. Refer to the below image:
Next, look for Lock Screen Status and select Weather from the drop-down menu. This will not be available if you do not have the MSN Weather app installed. See the below image:
That’s it! The weather information will appear centered at the bottom of the Lock Screen.
You may not look at the Lock Screen on your Windows PC as much as your smartphone, but it’s mostly a blank canvas for glanceable information.
