    Automatically change logon screen wallpaper


    Hi

    It took me a while to discover that the lock screen and the logon screen are not the same thing. Thankfully I know know that they are different things.

    Whenever I startup windows 10 I always land on the login screen, perfect for security reasons (the password) because I'm the only user of my laptop and I dont want anyone else using it without my permission. But there is a problem, I get tired of seeing the same login wallpaper each time I log on. Like the lock screen wallpaper and the desktop wallpaper can automatically be changed to a "new" picture, Id like to have the same functionality with my login screen. Does anybody know how I can do this? And I dont mean to change the picture on the login screen to just a new picture but to cycle between pictures in a folder of images (or even better windows spotlight pictures (as in the lock screen wallpaper).

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

  3. Delete Windows 10 Lockscreen Cache

    Hi,

    My organization would like to be able to push wallpaper's and lockscreen's to our PC's. I have been able to get the wallpapers to update by creating a shutdown script that deletes
    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper
    This forces computer to contact the server at every login and redownload the wallpaper. This allows us to replace the image on the server with a new one and the computers will download it at the next startup.

    Now I am trying to do the same thing with the lock screen. I have set the group policy's
    Force a specific default lock screen and logon image and
    Prevent changing lock screen and logon image
    . I have pointed the default lock screen GP to our server
    \\file01\wallpaper\background.jpg. When I change the image on the server and keep the same filename nothing happens. The settings will update and show the correct image as a thumbnail but the lock screen still displays the old image. If I edit
    the GP and change it to point to \\file01\wallpaper\background1jpg. I no longer get a logon image at all. Instead I just get a solid lock screen with my accent color. The settings app will again update with the correct image but not the lock
    screen.

    Is there a cache file or something that I need to delete at every shutdown for the lock screen to update?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Nathan
