  1. Why can't I change my sign-in screen picture?


    I have changed my lock screen photo to a particular image of choice and turned ON "Show Lock Screen Background on Sign-in Screen".

    While my selected image will appear each time I wake up my laptop throughout the day, another image (the one I don't want) keeps appearing on my sign-in screen each morning I turn on the laptop from the previous night's shut down. I cannot seem to change this sign-in image to correspond with the image I have selected to appear on the sign-in screen. This issue only occurs on one laptop and is not an issue on my other laptop. I have experimented numerous way numerous times. I sign in to my Microsoft account before I attempt to change this image, but it never takes. Why can't I change this image?

    :)

    Hi,

    Windows 10 lets you use the lock screen picture as the background picture of the sign-in screen. For you to change the picture on your sign-in screen, you need to change your
    Lock screen picture first, see steps below:

    • Go to the Settings, then Personalization.
    • Under Background section, click on the drop down and choose
      Picture
      .
    • Select Lock screen, under Choose your picture section, click on
      Browse and select your desired picture.
    • Make sure to turn on the Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen option.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
