Windows 10: How do you change the background on the Windows sign-in when you first turn your computer...

I've seen this question asked and answered many times, but most of the answers don't apply to the question, and the ones that come close don't work.I would like to know how to change the background on the screen that first appears where you sign-in when you turn your computer on, wake it from hibernation, or wake it from sleeping if you have it turned on to require the password?On Windows 10 there were different scenes that would appear each time you needed to log on, and you could select if you liked them or not before signing in. I would like to implement that on my Windows 11 computer, but

Changing the background scene on the sign-in screen

Hi,

Windows 10 lets you use the lock screen picture as the background picture of the sign-in screen. For you to change the picture on your sign-in screen, you need to change your
Lock screen picture first, see steps below:

• Go to the Settings, then Personalization.
• Under Background section, click on the drop down and choose
  Picture.
• Select Lock screen, under Choose your picture section, click on
  Browse and select your desired picture.
• Make sure to turn on the Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen option.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Can You Change the Sign In Background Color in Windows 11?

Your suggestions make a lot of sense and it is a great idea and I wish I had thought of it!

However, after doing all of steps a couple of times it still reverts to the black background on the sign-in screen

While the Windows Spotlight was a nice feature, I really didn't like the black background on the sign-screen and

and I am now using the same picture for both that I like.

I can live without the Windows Spotlight feature and the right background on the sign-in screen is more important to me.

Thank you for the possible workaround and letting my know that Windows doesn't allow for you to change the background on the

sign-in screen independently of the Lock Screen.
