This morning, the Windows 10 lock screen displayed a picture of Monument Valley, Utah, with a starry sky. I was puzzled that I couldn't recognize any of the stars or constellations. Can you?

well looks like The Coathanger jumps out at me - bottom centre..
John is right, it's not very clear but we are looking at Cygnus lying on it's side (Deneb to the left).

Thanks for pointing that out. I suppose also the bright star in the center, a quarter of the way down from the top, is Vega in Lyra? I find it hard to recognize stars when there are lots of them in the sky, because I'm used to seeing the night sky in built-up areas, where only the brightest stars can be seen and are therefore easy to pick out. It's even harder in a photograph where the stars saturate the sensor making it hard to tell differences between brightnesses.
Rough and ready mark up. Summer triangle and top of cygnus marked:
Oh I think I marked the wrong one as Deneb, it's the next bright star down.
