  1. "Windows Swirl" images keeps returning as screen background.


    After deleting all "Windows Swirl" images from my computer Windows 11 Home edition, this image keeps returning as the Login screen background.And yes, I have already configure my lock screen background image with the one I want.And yes I have selected the option to "Show Lock screen background as login background"...It seems that when logging in, Microsoft sends the image to my computer as the login background, everytime I perform a reboot...

  2. Login Screen Background keeps defaulting to stock image

    I've set a custom image on my lock screen to show up on the initial login screen whenever I first start up my computer. But occasionally, the login screen defaults to a stock landscape image that comes with Windows 10.

    To clarify, here are the steps I've taken:

    • Go into Settings -> Personalization -> Lock Screen
    • EDIT: Set image to Picture
    • Click Browse... to look for and select a picture
    • Turn on Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen.

    However, no matter how many times I retake these steps, the default login screen background occasionally
    comes back. How do I stop this from happening?

    UPDATE: I forgot to mention a step here in my initial post. I have already set the background to
    Picture, thus the custom image.

    • In the search type as ‘Settings’ and click on it.
    • Select ‘Personalization’, under ‘Background’ option select as ‘Picture’.
