Windows 10: Lock screen is unchangeable on Windows 10 Education Pro, even via registry

I am using Windows 10 Pro Education on an Asus Expertbook, and this is my own personal device, not managed. I would like to change the lock screen. I have tried many methods in order to do this.I have tried the default method via settings in which i have selected picture in the dropdown menu I do not have access to Windows Spotlight on this device so that is not an issue, I select the image via browse and it simply shows the loading symbol but does not finish loading. I am able to change to one of the default lock screens via this method, but that is not what I want to do.I have tried usin

Windows 10 Education Pro

I've not had an opportunity to test Pro Education edition yet but I am running normal Education on a Hyper-V virtual machine and on dual boot with Pro on a laptop. Basically Education is exactly as Enterprise, meant for domain or Azure AD use. Main differences when compared to Pro are missing Cortana and no possibility to use Microsoft account as initial user account when setting up Windows, although when selecting initial user as local domain user a normal local account will be created which can then be switched to a Microsoft account instead of joining a domain.

Native Windows apps in Windows 10 Education edition are the same than in Pro edition, Cortana being the only exception.

If you already have setup Windows 10 Pro on your machines with a customised image I can see no benefits in doing the job again deploying an almost similar OS. This is of course only my personal subjective opinion based on what I know at the moment; I have no knowledge or insight about what additional features (see highlighted part in quote below) Pro Education might be and if they would be reason enough to upgrade to Pro Education.

Windows 10 Lock Screen still appears after registry edit

Good day, Community: I run Windows 10 Pro - version 10.0.14393 Build 14393 w/latest Features Update. I re-installed my digital entitlement copy which is activated. After the initial install, I disabled the login screen via Netplwiz.exe. I then attempted
to disable the Windows 10 Lock Screen following current registry edit protocol for NoLockScreen. I saved my edits and closed the registry. I then shut down the PC and restarted. The same lock screen graphic appeared after the PC booted but now it was the
'Welcome' screen image. Within 5 secs. it went to my desktop. I would like to bypass this 'Welcome' screen and boot directly to the desktop without displaying any other image. Any suggestions or steps would be appreciated. Thanks.
