Has anybody else noticed that after upgrading to WP8.1 that you can't change the name or background image on the Kid's Corner lock screen?

I had Kid's Corner set up when I was running WP8 on my Icon. I changed the title to say "Gabby's Corner" and changed the lock screen image to a picture of her. However, after upgrading to WP8.1 I did a hard reset and did not restore from a backup. When I set up Kid's Corner like I had it previously, I could not change the lock screen image, nor could I change the name to what I had previously.

Am I missing a setting, or did Microsoft change something and not realize it?
 
You can still do it , just launch kids corner , you will a tile named "customise " from there you can name your kids corner , chose picture , set background (black or white ) and accent colour.

Yes. But the customize tile doesn't show up. It's missing. How do I reset it? Turning it off and back on doesn't work.
 
Seems like. I can add games, music, apps, and videos, but the customize tile is missing. I'm not sure how many other people ran into this problem though. Bing and Google searches turn up only a few hits.
 
Looks like the only fix is to do a hard reset. That, at least, was the response from a Microsoft rep. *sigh* It would be nice to be able to reset certain functions instead of resetting the entire phone. Also, this is a bug that can happen in WP8 as well not just 8.1.
 
I got it working again. The customize tile is back.

I ultimately had to revert back to 8.0 then reinstall 8.1. I'm not sure why I had to do this. Evidently, something was corrupted in my 8.1 reinstall.
 
Hmm, I've noticed this issue since WP8.1 Update 1 DP on my Lumia 1020 too. Gernerttl, are you now on DP or official release?
 
Not yet. Verizon hasn't pushed out the update to the Icon yet. I've got latest WP8.1 DP update. I'm not having any problems now, since I reverted back to 8.0 then reinstalled 8.1 DP.
