Group Policy Settings Reference Spreadsheet Windows 10 version 2004

To add to OilerNut's post, in Group Policy Settings Reference Spreadsheet Windows 10 version 2004 - TenForums the GPA setting Always use custom logon background is listed [row 2520] as being in the Registry at
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System!UseOEMBackground

- there is a way of setting this item up manually.

I do not use Pro so this is no more than a suggestion.
