  1. windows 10 lock screen showing two identical accounts.


    Hi

    I am facing this issue with my windows 10 where I am seeing two identical accounts on my lock screen. the accounts have the same name and same password and it is not really a problem for me in any manner, but I want to remove it.



    User accounts for \\LAPTOP-KH20S8DN



    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Administrator DefaultAccount Guest

    hp WDAGUtilityAccount

    The command completed successfully.


    This is some information that I got after used the command :
    %UserProfile%\Desktop\Accounts.txt


    I don't even know which account I had originally. Please help me with an end-to-end solution for the problem.

    :)

  2. Windows Spotlight - Lock Screen image will not show on Sign-In Screen

    Hi Bastet and Paul Black,

    Thanks for such a quick response! I had tried the steps involved in Brink's tutorial already (both manually and running the .bat file, just in case), but I've given them one more try just to see if it worked - no luck, I'm afraid! While Spotlight itself works on the Lock screen, as soon as I press a key to move to the Sign-In screen to enter my PIN, it changes back to a plain flat-colour background - and that's even with "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" enabled under Personalization.

    If I set this to 'disabled', the Spotlight image shows on the Lock screen but not the Sign-In screen.
    If I set it to enabled, both Lock and Sign-In show as a plain flat-colour background.


    Hi Dalchina,

    Thanks for this suggestion as well - I've tried this too (both enabling and disabling the registry key). It seems to get me one step closer. If I create and set 'DisableLogonBackgroundImage' to '1' under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System, then the outcome of "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" under Personalization seems to have a different effect. Regardless of whether "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen", the Spotlight image shows on the Lock screen. However, it still doesn't show on the Sign-In page. That's still just a solid colour.

    Do I want DisableLogonBackgroundImage to be 0 or 1? I guessed 1 as I figured that was a 'disable' key - kind of like a double negative windows 10 lock screen showing two identical accounts. :)

    And with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SystemProtectedUserData\<your account's SID key>\AnyoneRead\LockScreen, there's the HideLogonBackgroundImage key - which I guess should be set to 0?

    I feel like it's just got to be one darn registry key somewhere to fix this, but I've got no idea where to look!

    Apologies - I know this is all very trivial but it's irritated me enough that it's getting personal now *Wink

  3. Windows 10 Business - how to show all accounts on lock screen

    We are using Windows 10 Business (Pro) and have computers that have multiple people using from day to day. They are all set up in the accounts as Work users.

    On the Lock screen, only the currently logged-in, or most recently logged-in user is listed, otherwise you have to chose other account and type in your email address to log in.

    How can you get the lock screen to always show you a list of all available accounts for this computer?

    Thanks
