Windows 10: Blurring of lock screen in Windows 10 Pro

Since a recent update (I am now at 10.0.18362), the background of the lock screen is blurred as soon as I press a key. I preferred the old way without blurring; is it possible to go back and if so, how? I didn't see anything under "Personalization".

Lock screen image is blurred


I've noticed an unwanted change on the lock screen since updating to 1903, this is on both my desktop (Home) and laptop (Pro) while the sign on box is up, the lock screen image is blurred to the point of being unrecognizable.

The desktop is set to sign on automatically so the entire time the lock screen image is present it is nothing but a blur, on the laptop it does this after I press any key to bring up the logon box. This happens on both my computers and my wife's two laptops, one Home version and one Pro.

It's certainly not a deal breaker for the 1903 update, but this serves no useful function, and is an annoyance.

Is it just me and my systems, or do others see this too? And is there any fix/hack/work around I can do?

TIA for reading, and any for responses *Smile

 

Disable blur on lock screen when opening a Windows session (1903 update)

Hi,

1903 Update introduces lock screen blurring when connecting to a Windows session. Problem I have is that prevents the user from appreciating the wallpaper I set specially for the lock screen as opening a Windows session can be quite long. I suggest there
should be a setting that allow us to disable the blur.

Thanks for your time.
