Windows 10: lock screen

In personalization, under lock screen.....at the top to that I see a message in RED that says "Some settings are managed by your organization". I'm not part of any organization.

Change User Profile picture in Lock Screen

I set a lock screen picture for my lock screen and my account picture is covering the most important part of the lock screen picture I set. Is there away to disable the account picture on the lock screen or move it from the center on screen?

Original title: Lock screen and Account pictures

 

Black lock screen

Using latest Windows 10 (ver 1607 14393.187) 64bit. Using Windows Spotlight for Lock screen.

If "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" is off, lock screen has background picture, sign-in does not; this is correct.

If it is on, then lock screen background is black (date etc is OK) and sign-in has the lock screen background picture. Lock screen should have picture, not black.

 

Hello Plankton, *Smile

That usually indicates that you have a group policy enabled for one of the settings on that page. You might check to see if you may have a group policy enabled that could be affecting this.

Mine was hijacked by a Rogue entry in my registry at

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization]

after removing it that, the secret organization left me alone. Really! they did. *Smile
I am on Home too.

 

I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary....or really, not knowing what I was looking for. I ended up doing a OS reset keeping my files. All seems to be OK now.

 

If it happens again there are plenty of threads on this topic - most quite old now- which you can research. Usually that's fixable without radical measures. It used to happen, for example, when people tried to turn off features thought related to so-called MS snooping and fear of privacy being compromised. A starting point is to use the Undo button in Spy-bot Antibeacon (free), for example.
