Windows 10: Lock Screen Question

Hey Brink,

The lockscreen is disabled so I can enter direct my password. But I want to change the background there again. *Smile

P.S. Cute avatar!

 

Thank you. *Smile

In that case, you could use OPTION ONE below to show the lock screen background on the sign-in screen.

Afterwards, change the lock screen background picture to what you like to also have it on the sign-in screen.

Hey,

No problem, but it keeps somehow disabled (not allowed to change). I've no idea what I must do to remove that.

 

What build of Windows 10 do you have installed?

Check using option 1 or 2 below to see if you may have disabled the lock screen with this policy.

I'll have an look at the second link and edit my post when i got more info.

EDIT: OK, I can change it and created a new folder because I want use a dia now, but when I save it, it keeps giving another background. How can I make it that the dia works and how can I check that?

 

You'll only be able to use these file types for a background picture.

 

Yeah, it are all .jpg and in a special map, so what am I doing wrong or does it change automatic now?

 

Please give more details about what you mean for "in a special map".

If you mean a mapped folder, then how does the slideshow work for you if you use a local folder instead?

 

Hey,

I've created a folder C:\Users\sirma\Pictures\Achtergronden and there did I put the images. *Smile Can I btw change the sirma to something else? I've no idea why it is sirma.

 

Is it working for you now?

If you created the account using a Microsoft account (MSA), then the first 5 characters of the name you entered in your MSA name settings online is what is used for your user profile folder. It's not recommended to change the name of your profile folder since it could cause issues.

 

Well, I tried it and it didn't change at all, must I reboot?

My name on Microsoft is Mark de Jager, what has "sirma" to do with it? *Redface

 

You shouldn't need to restart the computer, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

I suppose if you had a local account with that name, then switched to your MSA.

 

No, always used a Microsoft account, it happend after a factory reset, but then I used direct a Microsoft account.

 

Well, lockscreen doesn't change but It's fine now. I got a new background there.

Should I open a new topic for the user profile?

I've found out how the dia works, it's for the proction screen.

 

I'm glad you are able to change your lock screen background picture now.

Yeah, it would be best to create a new thread for your separate user profile issue.
