    Remove User personalisation settings on logoff


    I'm setting up Group Policies for to controlling Windows 10 when we roll it out. I'm currently stuck on how to remove user personalisation on logoff.
    For example if a user chooses a new color scheme that's OK. However when they log off that color scheme is used for the lock and logon screens for the next user. Once the next user is logged on they get their own color settings.
    I want the lock and logon screens to revert back to default Microsoft blue (behind the image*).

    *To complicate things slightly I have used group policy to define a custom image for the lock and logon screens. This does work. However if a user chooses a high contrast theme the image is not displayed at all and the high contrast theme is present on the lock and logon screens until the next user logs on.

    :)

  2. ''Pin to Start' option dissappeared

    Did the Policy values exist and you removed them? If so, you need to logoff and login back. If the Policy settings didn't exist, then you may check if this happens in another user profile. You may create one to test.

    It easy to remove those, you probably missed that page in the user manual.

    Here's how to do it:

    Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Personalisation > Standby Mode > Active Standby - Set to off.

    Sounds like something you might do with a scheduled task, triggered 'on disconnect from a user session'.

    But the actual action is another question..
    I use a task to reapply a theme on resuming (else background colour is lost). I wonder if that approach (applying a default theme) would be relevant.
