Windows 10: How do I use a custom log in screen at boot up with anniversary build

I have been researching this my self and only getting more and more confused, basically all I would like to do is turn of the lock screen and use a custom image when I log in at boot up (I have it working when I log out but not at boot) it was working flawless prior to the 1607 anniversary update.

I was hoping someone could tell me how to do this

Windows 10 upgrade - Intel C600 storage controller issue

An update:

A few days ago, I upgraded to Windows 10 Anniversary Update. Now, I do not see the repeating of the screen with the cyan Windows logo, which is good; however, now the total boot time is longer than it was with Windows 10 build 1511, especially after I log
in and am waiting for the desktop to appear.

 

Dell laptop keyboard with windows 10 is not active on boot up, what settings do I need to change to have the main keyboard active on boot up?

Once the boot up sequence is finished, I have to log on using the touch screen - and the main keyboard is not active, then i have to go into the ease of use on the control panel, turn the touch screen keyboard on and off, then the laptop keyboard will
be active, I do not want to go thru this process sitting in a customers home. I want the main keyboard to be active upon booting the laptop up. What settings do i need to change?

 

Hi, Winaero's Tweaker (free) has an option to trick Windows so the lock screen is disabled, with full explanation of how it works.

 

I have managed to disable the lock screen but my login is a solid color, at boot. I wanted it to be a custom picture. Will this tweaker allow me to do that?

 

Hi,, I assume you mean the login screen background, rather than anything appearing after booting the PC.

Try
Sign-in Screen Background Image - Change in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
and for completeness
Sign-in Screen Background Image - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Do have a look at the extensive Tutorial section.
Hope that helps.

 

Well see this is where I am getting confused. The lock screen is gone but my login screen when I first boot my pc is just a solid color. I would like that to be a picture.

Both of the programs in the tutorial won't work with the anniversary build of win 10

 

The screen you see when you first boot your PC isn't a login screen, is it? Or do you really see nothing (black) until you see a login prompt?

If you find that there's a problem with the tutorials, please post a comment noting your experience there for Brink to look at. I've not used them myself.

Settings, Personalization, Lock Screen

 

When I first start my computer it goes right to the login page, which is what I wanted.

I haven't been able to set a picture with out turning back on the lock screen (the one that appears which you need to click on in order to get to the log in page)

How ever said login has a solid color background. Not a custom picture like it did before the anniversary update. I am trying to get a picture back there.

 

If I change the setting in the screenshot I showed above to off, my login screen becomes solid blue instead of a picture.

It used to be the case that the picture would change automatically. At some point that stopped.

 

I have that turned on already, could it be that it's because the lock screen is disabled? What build are you running?

 

Hi, 14393.447. I did disable the lock screen, but it's been enabled for a while now. I'm guessing playing around has stopped the automatic picture change.

Probably not choosing Windows Spotlight has done that: this you may find interesting:

I'm not now getting the 'Like what you see' + picture change on a lock screen on restart or resume... but I do if I lock the PC (Win key + L) - which I never do. Used to be present on the first two.

I am using the same build when when I shut off the lock screen my login is just a solid color background.

 

Those are the settings I consider significant here... I've just disabled the lock screen using Winaero's tweaker, and still have a picture on login screen. It just doesn't change as it used to a few weeks ago.

I don't know if this may be relevant:
Lock Screen Background - Change in Windows 10 - Page 11 - Windows 10 Tutorials
If you turn on visual effects settings to prevent the lock screen background not displaying properly.

Thank you. I tested this, and can confirm.

 

I will give it shot, the only way I could turn my lock screen off was with a mofoded ddl file as the registry hack no longer worked/works for me.
