Windows 10: Set Wallpaper Preference for New Users but allow them to change

Hi all,

I am setting up some new computers, OEM by Dell. I would like to set a default wallpaper for all new logon users but allow them to change freely in the future. I have found something like Group Policy Preference but I cant find in my Windows 10 (Build 1903). Is there any alternatives without doing a sysprep on it?

Thank you very much.

:)

 

Desktop wallpaper for new users

Hi Alaa,

Setting default users lets you specify the wallpaper on user's desktops and prevents other users from changing the image or its presentation. You can check these steps on how to set wallpapers from all users:

• Type run on the search bar and press Enter.
• On the window, type gpedit.msc and click OK.
• Locate and click Administrative Templates.
• Select Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper.
• Tick Enabled, and name your wallpaper.
• Select Apply and click OK.

After performing the steps above, you may restart your PC.

Let us know the outcome. We will be glad to assist you.

 

Desktop wallpaper for new users

Hi Justine,

please find the answers for your questions.

For Example: If a new user log in for first time to his machine, Instead of Apply the default windows 10 wallpaper (Windows Logo), I need to set a specific wallpaper with user ability to change it.

Thanks

Alaa

 

Desktop wallpaper for new users

If that's the case, we would like to know the following so we can assist you further:

• Are you trying to set up a wallpaper to all users(including new users) to a single device? Or
  
• Are you trying to set it up to all the device the users will log in?
• Do you want to have a default users for all of the devices, and when another user logged in on that specific device he/she will be able to change the wallpaper, is that right?

We'll keep an eye out on your response.
