Windows 10: Personalization

Greetings, I would like to know if anyone knows how to delete(remove) user picture(avatar) and user name from the welcome and or lock screen? I have deleted all pictures(account) from all suggested flolders (app data, etc) but name and picture still appear on both screens. It's an annoyance and takes away from the background wallpaper. I have win 10 pro, version 1709, build 16299.19. Any help is appreciated *Cool

"Personalization colours" aren't personal

Hi,

Normally, the settings of the computers in an organization are being set and controlled by the IT administrators. In some cases, users are allowed to personalize and make some changes with the computer settings. However, the computer usually restores the
previous settings after every restart. To receive the best advice regarding your concern, we recommend that you get in touch with your IT administrator.

If you need further help about this, we suggest posting it to
TechNet Forums. In this way, you'll receive the best possible assistance from IT professionals who are more equipped regarding this matter.

Regards.

 

Personalization

I am having difficulties in placing desktop personalization back to Default mode.

The colors are constantly switching to "pick an accent color from my background", even when the box for this function is no longer checked.

I see no way to return to default mode.

There is no restore function ... only recovery .. which reformats the system.

 

Hello, @bobbymcgee. Welcome to Windows TenForums.

It is syncing with what you have in your account online. Go to your account online > Click "Edit name" > Click "Change picture" > Click "remove".

 

Greetings,(thanks for the welcome) I have a microsoft acccount but I use a local account instead. Anyway when I clicked on to the ms account,>sync your settings I did not see "Edit name"> "change picture">remove"

 

Should probably ask if you ever uploaded one there?

Have you ever used an MS account to sign into your device/PC?

To be sure > Your main account signin > Not Outlook email online.
