    Lock screen picture when logged out


    Hello! I set up a lock screen picture using the PC Settings app, and it displays as expected when I'm logged in but the computer is locked. However, when I sign out the lock screen picture goes back to the default rainbow picture. (The setting doesn't change, it just doesn't display the picture that I chose.) How can I change the global lock screen picture so it's the same regardless of whether I'm logged in or not? This is a computer on a domain, but no group policy exists to control the lock screen picture (as far as I'm aware). I am a local administrator of my computer.

    :)

    Lock Screen Image Does Not Display as Login Screen

    I have my "lock screen" set to a picture I have chosen. I have turned on "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen". When I lock, the lock screen picture I have chosen is displayed. However, when I log out and latter log in again, some other
    picture is displayed; one of the "default" pictures, not the custom picture I have selected as my lock screen.

    How do I make the lock screen and sign on screen picture the same - I have already selected "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" and it does not work.

    Windows Spotlight not working properly in Windows 10.

    It's seems that Spotlight is only available when a user is logged in. Hence you will see it when you lock or resume from sleep. But when you boot up or log out from your account, the Lock screen displays the last picture that was selected when the Lock
    screen was set to 'Picture'.

    Hello Vaindil,

    As you found out, there are two lock screens in Windows 10. One is your lock screen while signed in to your account. The other is the default lock screen when no user is signed in.

    You should be able to use either option in the tutorial below for Windows 8 to change the default lock screen in Windows 10 as well. *Smile
