Windows 10 had a way to stop image collages/image tiling on lock screen... Why doesn't Windows 11 seem to have the same?

Have had numerous realizations of how many random features that were just removed when windows 10 was changed to 11...

Please explain as to why we would remove the ability to prevent image tiling or image collages in the lock screen.... Actually explain why it exists as a DEFAULT FUNCTION, who would EVER want this?

There is no collection of images that looks good together, unless it was directly created for that purpose. Meaning, that people would actively need to create something to curate it in that manner.

Meaning... It should not be a default function, because there have been a handful of unanswered and ignored questions about this exact same topic across the last f o u r y e a r s.... With not a single microsoft support member providing a modicum of help. They've either asked questions back to the user, or have stated things like "advanced settings"... There is no advanced lock screen settings, that does not exist in windows 11....

My question. Is there a way to stop image collaging or tiling for the lock screen in windows 11?<< If not, why... Because it literally just existed on windows 10, why would you remove this? Why is it a "feature" and not the default... Why was it considered a FEATURE to REMOVE???

Regardless, if this does not exist, please add it back. It's actually absurd I cannot look this issue up and even get an answer that clarifies whether this issue is even solvable. It's a really bad look for your brand there is not an answer for this immediately available anywhere, where google, AI, and your own support center can provide concrete clarity to this...

    Hello re74rd, welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    I understand your frustration about the lock screen collage/tiling behavior. Unfortunately, this is a peer-to-peer community forum where we can't address feature requests, design decisions, or provide justification for product changes—Microsoft developers and engineers don't monitor this forum for feedback.

    For feedback about Windows features or to request changes, please submit through the Feedback Hub app (built into Windows), which is the direct channel to the Windows development team.
