Before anyone can help you, please tell us which S4 you have and what OS Version (also firmware and carrier) you were on before and after your update.
Their are several versions of the S4 with different OS's so the more information you can provide, the better the feedback you will get.
Thanks! [emoji217]

Also I don't think there are lock screen widgets on stock Lollipop any more. but we do have them available as notifications for the likes of music etc playing. Take a look in settings>sound & notifications>when device is locked. Mine for some reason only has "Show all notifications" or "Don't show notifications at all", thought there was one to hide sensitive notifications or something too but I can't see it on my phone at the moment. Anyway, if yours is set to "Don't show notification's", change it and try again. If you have music playing you should be able to change track etc when locked.
