How to change picture on Welcome screen in Windows 10

None of what you have given here as an answer addresses the picture on the Welcome Screen, it only changes the picture on the Lock Screen.

The Welcome Screen and the Lock Screen are two different things. How do we change the picture on the Welcome Screen?

 

How to change picture on Welcome screen in Windows 10

There is a picture on my WELCOME SCREEN, the screen PRIOR to the LOCK SCREEN that comes up every time I restart my PC. The WELCOME SCREEN also comes up at restart if you have disabled the LOCK SCREEN.

I'd like to remove that picture entirely and replace it with a simple background color.

I can change the LOCK SCREEN background picture easily and change the DESKTOP background as well.

But I can't seem to find where to access the properties for the WELCOME SCREEN. The image on the WELCOME SCREEN only appeared after the anniversary update.

Again, I wish to eliminate the background picture from the WELCOME SCREEN and not from the LOCK SCREEN.

Thank you.

Tried that, powered off, powered back on, picture is still there.......Del.

 

Download Hero wallpaper:

Windows 10 Hero 4K HD desktop wallpaper : Widescreen : Fullscreen : Mobile : Dual Monitor

save it to your pictures folder then Browse for it:

 

Edwin, Done that......tried it, seascape and caves have returned....... most annoying !!..........Del.

 

O.k.......The log on screen flashes up for a split second (I don't use a password ).......then it goes to picture of a seascape......what else can I do ??..........Del.

 

I also do not like that "fancy" stupid pictures.
Here the Solution:
Use Paint, make a picture fill it with the Background color you like, save it as JPEG.
Next go to Settings>Personalization>Lock Screen Select "Picture" and click "Browse" and point to your previous saved Picture.
That´s it.
I tried and it works.
Cheers

 

Nope, tried that, tried several different images, it always returns to this seascape picture, or some other image.......but not the one I have selected..........Del.

 

Strange, I just did that on my PC and it is working. I have 1607.321 installed.
On take Lock Screen Page I have disabled the switch "Get fun facts...." and I have ENABLED the switch "Show Lock Screen picture on sign-in screen"
I send you bellow the picture I have on "Welcome" Screen , I do not if you can download it for you to try.

 

Mmmhh........Have altered my settings to the same as yours Adalwar, and tried powering off and then on again........it is now working !!........added Hero wallpaper as Edwin suggested, all is fine........Thanks guys, it was driving me crazy !!............Del.

 

Please, mark as "Solved"

 

Note that if you have more than one account each one has its own individual personalisation settings. You'll need to make the same changes for each of the accounts.

 

O.k. Thanks for that.........Del.
