Windows 10: Windows 10 1903 Upgrade kept my old 1809 Background Lock Screen image

Just upgraded to Windows 10 1903 and went smoothly.

However, it kept my old 1809 lock screen image which is the darker theme from my attached image.
I need to have the lighter theme instead which can also be seen from the attached image.

Under 1809, I gathered the lock screen image from the below directory.
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg

But under 1903, I went to Personalization and then Lock Screen and chosen Picture. Then I selected Browse and went to the same exact directory and it kept the darker blue theme instead.


In order for me to have the newer lighter theme, I need to perform a clean install of 1903 instead?

Lock screen background image does not appear (Anniversary Update)


Hi folks,

Background

• A year or more ago I followed [this guide](How to Change the Login Screen Background on Windows 10) to set the Sign-in screen to a single colour rather than having to use Microsoft's default background image.
• So I set my own custom background image for the Lock screen (with no problem), and then once I hit a key to bring up the Sign-in screen it would should a solid background colour (happy days!).

Issue

• I just upgraded to the Anniversary Update with no problems. My setup of Lock screen = custom image and Sign-in screen = solid colour was still working.
• I read that Microsoft had changed it so that when you hit a key to bring up the Sign-in screen it would just keep your Lock screen image behind and show the password box on top. This sounded good to me so I ran the 'undo' script provided in the link above (the 'enable' script).
• Now, when I lock my computer I see no image at all (a completely black background, but it's not broken because the date and time show up), and only when I hit a key to bring up the Sign-in screen do I see the custom Lock screen background image I selected. *Sad
• The kicker is: if I go into the Lock screen settings and turn "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" OFF, then it reverts to my old custom setup: showing my selected Lock screen background image on the lock screen, but then showing a solid colour when I bring up the Sign-in screen :/

I'm wondering if the registry setting changed at all for the Anniversary Update? I note that in the article and in the registry script they refer to it as "login/logon" whereas the setting in the Anniversary Update references "sign-in". Don't know if there's a clue there or it's just a red herring?

Can anyone help me get back to the default Anniversary Update behaviour (Lock screen background image shows on lock screen and sign-in screen)?

UPDATE: Interestingly, when I do a restart, the default Anniversary Update behaviour works. Ie. it shows the background image on the first screen and also on the sign-in screen (is there a subtle difference between the first screen you see after powering up vs any subsequent lock screen?).

Windows 10 lock/sign in screen blury since upgrade to 1903

All 4 of my Windows 10 computers have been just upgraded to version 1903. Since the upgrade all 4 show a blurry background image on the lock/sign in screen. Is this a bug?
