Windows 10: Login screen issue

Hi!

I updated Windows 10 to the Anniversary Edition and all went well... apart from one issue. When I boot or reboot the PC, and during the boot process, I notice that one of the new feature of Windows is to show the lock screen image as background (I repeat, during boot). I already had a custom image in Settings --> Personalization --> Lock Screen, and checked the option to show the lock screen image during boot. My profile image is also customized.

Problem is, during boot Windows shows the default lock screen image (the rocks and the beach... you know) and the default profile image (the round with the shape of a person). Basically, Windows is ignoring my settings.

Any idea on how can I manually fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Laptop will not boot into Windows 10

Yes, I managed to work out what was going on.

The issue was the Dell software that is used to provide a login screen including the fingerprint reader. Essentials, on Windows 7 this replaced the standard Microsoft login screen.

When the Windows upgrade is run it appears that there's some kind of issue where the Dell login screen no longer overrides the Microsoft login screen they both try to run at the same time and the net result was the flashing screen.

I managed to 'break' into the login screen(s) by pressing the CTR-ALT-DEL sequence continuously (and very quickly) for a couple of minutes, this crashes one of the login programs and offers both options of login screen which allows you to select which one
to use... that was the clue to what was going on. I finally fixed the issue by disabling the Dell login screen and just using the Microsoft one, the only issue is that I can no longer use the fingerprint login method.

Hope this makes sense and you get your issue resolved.

Regards

Chris

 

Login Screen Animation Issue

I'm on build 10586.

I can't rely on insider builds due to needing my PC for work so unable to test.

Thanks.

 

Well known bug - have to wait for MS to fix.

 

Good to know. Thank you for answering. So we have to wait.

 

I am not sure if you are talking about the same thing that happened to me

but anyway ,, did you try going in to settings and just reset and use your own image again ??

thats what i did
it worked for me
good luck

 

There is also 2 more other options if you like

I use this https://github.com/PFCKrutonium/Wind...anger/releases

if you want the opposite then use this

https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...dows-10-a.html

and download the registry hack

 

Oh yes, I already did it. And for what matters Windows BG Changer, which you kindly provided me a link for, the page clearly states that it does not work whit the Anniversary Update. Sadly. In fact the problem occurred just after the recent update of Windows.

 

As I said it is a bug with AU. I am a little surprised it is taking MS so long to sort this one.

 

Update: during normal reboots the background screen appeared, but only once, and I did not change everything between reboots! Same problem with the profile image, I did try to change it so something else, but only the default one (the idiotic shape) appeared. It seems like Windows doesn't know what to do... *Sad

So you are right cereberus, it's definitely a Windows bug.

 

Sorry for the late response got a Little Busy with other stuff and been away from my pc
the Link I gave you is the one I use
and you and Cereberus could be very right Because I haven't used it since firs install
