Windows 10: screenshot with off screen

Hello, I have a program what is doing screenshots. On windows 10 and 11 as the screen is off I have a black picture only. While on windows 7 it works with off screen fine. Is it possible to change settings on windows 11 that screenshots will be taken as my screen is off and locked on my laptop? I need to lock my screen for security reasons.Regards Greg***** moved from german to english Community *****

Lock vs Login screen screenshot

Hi Josey -

Thanks for the quick reply. While your suggestion does change the sign in process, it doesn't address the differing screenshot question. Following the steps doesn't make the login screenshot the same as the Lock screenshot. As I mentioned, I can't even find the screenshots being used for both screens.

Still looking a solution to this. Open to any other suggestions you might have to the problem. Thanks!

You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen

 

Screenshots appears on the screen towards the lower right corner of the screen
