Default lock screen

I want to change the default lock screen. I did this once before, but I
don't remember how. As I recall, the original DLS was of a cave on a
beach. It's now of two people running into water wearing wetsuits. I
believe I changed it before the Anniversary update came out. My web
search finds some potential solutions that don't work for me, mainly a
registry edit that adds a key and value pointing to the picture (I
don't have the exact key handy right now.) Anyway, it doesn't work. I
am able to change my Personal lock screen.

Anybody know how to do this? Am I missing something, or is this a bug
in Windows 10 Anniversary edition, or is it by Microsoft's design?

The lock screen picture can be changed using Settings options.

The lock screen picture can be changed using Settings options.

When I browse, it won't show me the actual picture.

When you click Browse from the Lock Screen, to see thumbnails of the
pictures you must click the down arrow on the Icon in the upper right of
the screen. From this icon you can select four sizes of thumbnails or
Details.

This works similarly to the View Tab in File Explorer.

That setting will change my personal lock screen, which appears when I
log out or the session times out. It does not change the system's
default lock screen, which appears when I first boot up the computer or
when I log out of my session. *THAT*'s the one that's confounding me.

There is a limited things you can do to that screen. As I understand
about the only thing you can do is change the picture in the circle on
the screen. I have put my name, address and telephone in that circle.

To change it go to All Settings, Accounts, Your Information.

You can use the camera to add a picture, or you can browse for an image
to put into that circle.

No, you're still misunderstanding me. You're describing the *PERSONAL*
lock screen. I'm talking about the *default* system lock screen that
you see when you first boot up the computer. That lock screen shows
only the time and the background picture. After you click that screen
or hit a key, *then* you see the personal lock screen with the user
picture in the circle.

The personal lock screen background and user picture can be changed in
the Settings menu. I have, in the past, somehow changed the default
lock screen picture and it's now not the default one. However, I don't
know how, or I'm not able to change it again. Maybe it was something
that was possible before the Anniversary Update but not since? Is that
a bug, or by design, or am I just missing the method?

Hi, Nil,

A bit confused there, are you talking about the login screen???

If so, will this 3rd party program do what you want?

Hmm. When I log out or reboot, it returns to the most recent account's
lock screen. I haven't seen the default Windows screen since setting
personal screens for all the accounts.

I find it under Settings, personalization, lockscreen, then change from
windows spotlight or slideshow to Picture. Does that work for you?

Each displays a generic icon and not a thumbnail.

No, I don't think so. I'll say it another way...

When I first boot up, I'm presented with this, which I'm calling the
Default Lock Screen:

http://rednoise.vacau.com/temp/LS1.jpg

When I hit a key or click the mouse, I get this login screen:

http://rednoise.vacau.com/temp/LS2.jpg

After I'm already logged in and my session times out, or I hit
Alt-Ctrl-Del and select "Lock", I get this screen, which I'm calling
the Personal Lock Screen:

http://rednoise.vacau.com/temp/LS3.jpg

Now that I'm logged in, when I hit a key or click the mouse, I get
this login screen to resume my session:

http://rednoise.vacau.com/temp/LS4.jpg

I can change the Personal lock screen from the personalization
settings. I cannot change the Default lock screen, but I want to.
I'm tired of looking at that woman's ass!

http://www.addictivetips.com/windows...in-windows-10/

That sounds encouraging. I'll check it out and report back.

What is the correct size of the image?

Well, that's not the effect I'm looking for. What that does is make the
picture you've chosen for the sign-in screen also appear in back of the
log-on screen. What I'm unsuccessfully trying to do is change the
(system default, not my personal) lock screen picture itself.

Still, I double-checked that setting and it was already on.
