Windows 10: Two "lock screen images" being shown at boot

I know this isn't the biggest issue in the world but it's a daily annoyance.

When I cold boot, I see two lock screen images. I have used Personalization->Lock Screen->Background [Picture] to set the lock screen picture. When I boot, I first see the little 4-window graphic as is typical which then becomes the picture I chose. However, that picture then fades and the cave picture is shown. Then I am auto-logged in. As much as it's a nice picture, I'm tired of seeing the cave picture. "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" is On.

Things tried:
If I choose one of the other images in C:\windows\web\screen to be my lock screen image, when I boot, the cave picture is shown first this time it's the second image above, and it then fades and changes into the other picture I chose from that folder.

If I restart as opposed to cold boot, I don't have the problem I see only my selected image and not the cave picture after it.

If I add img1.jpg to c:\windows\web\screen it has no impact testing the idea that the order/name of the files in that folder had an impact.

I cannot move, rename or otherwise modify the images in windows\web\screen to test whether the image is being pulled from there looks likely given the display order change. One needs permission from TrustedInstaller.

I've changed the settings to slide show and spotlight and back in hopes of resetting something but no change. Similarly, I've toggled 'Show lock screen background ...' back and forth with no impact.

I've changed ForceStartBackground hklm.software\policies\microsoft\windows\personalization to 0. I've added LockScreenImage to the same key "personalization" and set it to my picture from winaero on changing default, not user, lock screen. Neither of these helped.


Any other ideas on how to make the display of the second image go away?

Lock Screen Image Too Big

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

• Is this issue occurs only when the pictures are set from OneDrive?

I suggest you to set the picture for the lock screen using the default lock screen pictures and check whether the issue persist or not, follow the below steps to set the pictures.

• Go to “settings” and click on “personalization”.
• Under “lock screen” tab, select the option from the drop box as “picture”.
• Then under “choose your picture” option, click on any picture and go to the lock screen, check whether the issue persists or not.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
