Yes, I think Samsung forgot to remove it and forgot that it needs some updating! Here's a picture of my Screen Saver screen. Samsung Galaxy S9+ Android version 10 One UI version 2.5 << Perhaps I need to upgrade One UI to v. 3 or v 4? I thought this upgrade would be automatic, but apparently not.

SOLVED!!! First I want to thank all of you who were so generous with their time in trying to help me solve this puzzle. The solution was in Settings > Display > Screen Saver! There are a number of "savers," but I had chosen "News & Weather." Bad choice! The news & weather hadn't updated...

B. Diddy: Thank you! Yes, I do have a ton of 3rd party apps. But I'll follow your suggestions regarding particular apps that may be causing this aberrant behavior (even if they don't claim to modify your lock screen)! What a pain! But thanks for hanging in there. I'll definitely post a...

Thanks for the safe mode suggestion! Safe mode did work to get rid of the annoying lock screen. But when I returned to normal mode it is, of course, back. I did have a bit of a scare returning to normal mode because it didn't default back to my Nova7 launcher (which I absolutely love!!). But...

Mustang and B. Diddy: Thank you both for your clarifications. I made the suggested changes, but still have the lock screen come up with the same weather and news as always, and clock showing the correct time for about 1 minute (then it doesn't change at all until I press the screen). See...

Thank you all for your suggestions. I really appreciate the time and effort you have shown for my issue. However, I'm not sure how to implement your suggestions. The system settings screens change with every iteration of Android. Here are the system settings screens that I have in Android...

Thank you for your suggestions. I agree that is is probably a 3rd party app, but I've attempted to identify (in vain) all 3rd party apps that might affect the lock screen. When that awful screen does show up (and doesn't update the clock!), I can touch it and it goes away and leaves my...

On my Samsung Galaxy S9+ (Android 10) there appears to be two lock screens. The normal lock screen (with pretty changing pictures) shows up immediately when I press the power button twice. But, after a few seconds another lock screen with a black background shows up. It has correct...
