It Randomly uses the pictures from the Outlook inbox attachments as lock screen.
i have tried the below but no luck.
Change setting of lock screen to Spotlight .

Run Cleaner to to clean up and fix all registries.
Run Malwarebytes to check for malware.

Open Start, Settings, Personalization, Lock Screen.

What do you see?  There are several Windows default Lock Screens. Do you see any of these?

Also, turn Spotlight OFF, restart and test.

sounds like a virus or malware on your computer,  I never seen the lock screen show outlook attachments before. On the lock screen page click the plus box beside choose an app to show detailed status. Choose none... it may be shown as mail.
Reset Windows Spotlight on Windows 10
  1. Open Settings.
  2. Click on Personalization.
  3. Click on Lock screen.
  4. Use the "Background" drop-down menu, and select the Picture or Slideshow option. Click this link for more information https://www.windowscentral.com/how-fix-windows-spotlight-stuck-same-image-windows-10
