My settings are the same as yours. I used Windows Key + L to lock my screen, and at the bottom center of the screen, my next meeting appeared on the screen.
However, I did notice two things:
- The next meeting details do not show when you start your computer. I have reported it to Microsoft. Once you sign in, the details are displayed on the lock screen.
- On the Personalized settings page (as shown in your image), the selected settings do not show how they will appear on the screen.

I uninstalled the Windows Mail client as It was now redundant, leaving Outlook installed, and have noticed that the calendar integration is not supported by Outlook. The setting now only allows me to show the weather.
It would be useful if outlook, as well as other apps, were able to integrate with the lock screen in the same manner Windows Mail did.
