    I can't change my sign-in/lock screen background?


    Ever since I reset my computer a few months ago, I haven't been able to change my lock screen background. I already tried all the regedit and gpedit stuff, none of those were the actual problem. I just haven't been able to change it since "some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization". This is a home PC, I don't work for an organization. I've changed my lock screen in the past, but I am suddenly unable to. How can I fix this? And please, "Trusted" Advisors, don't just recite the same old copy and paste as always.

    :)

  2. 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.

    different lock screen and sign in screen?

    Step 2b is labeled as Change the Login Screen Image, but the steps show you how to change the Lock Screen image. Step 2a is irrelevant. It only tells you how to change the desktop background.

    What I want to do:
    Set Spotlight as the LOCK Screen Image(s) - Done
    Set the Win 10 Hero Image as the SIGN IN Screen Image - This is the one that shows after you click on the lock screen and you are able to type your password. If I uncheck "Show Lock Screen Image on Sign In Screen", it shows a solid blue background behind my Password box and user image. This is what I want to change to the Hero Image....

  4. I can't change my sign-in/lock screen background?

    How to change sign-in screen (NOT lock screen) background?

    Yes you can change the sign-in screen background.

    Change the Login Screen Background on Windows 10.

    Follow these simple steps below together with these screenshots

    from this guide
    .

    Step 1: Head over to your Settings and then
    Personalization.

    Step 2: Once you’re here select the Lock screen tab and enable the
    Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen option.

    If you want to change the background of your sign in screen then you can do that.

    All you have to is just:

    Step 1: Do you see that Windows Spotlight option? Yeah that gives you all the spectacular background images from various beautiful places in the world.

    You can also select Picture or Slideshow if you want your own family photos, or pictures that you simply want to cherish each day by using it as your background on your Windows 10.

    Do note that the image that you select here will appear as both your lock screen background and your sign in background.

    If you instead want to go with a flat color rather than a background image itself then follow these simple steps:

    Step 1: Go ahead and disable the Show lock screen background picture on the sign in screen.

    Step 2: Once you have done that, head over to your Settings, then
    Personalization, and then finally Colors.

    You can try and experiment with these three options and see what you like. I can't change my sign-in/lock screen background? :)

    Let me know how it goes.
