I'm Greg, a volunteer installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

Are you choosing the Picture choice from the dropdown menu at Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen, and then browsing to the picture to select it?

If so and it still changes then you can find out how to manage the folder where these are stored here:

Copy and paste the following into the address bar

%USERPROFILE%/AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets

Right click settings.dat and roaming.lock each,

Rename each respectively settings.dat.bak and roaming.lock.bak

Restart your computer

Open Settings App > Personalisation > Lock screen > click in the 'Background', list box then choose Windows Spotlight.
