How to change lockscreen picture by command line?

Hi All

is there any way to change lockscreen picture via command line or powershell scripts?

Thanks for any replies.

Store your new lockscreen image. The default location is C:\Windows\Web\Screen.

Change the lockscreen image like this:

PowerShell

Code:

$path = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization" 
$img =  "C:\Windows\Web\Screen\MyLockscreen.jpg"

Set-ItemProperty -Path $path -Name LockScreenImage -value $img

Note that you need to sign out/sign in to see the change.

Hope this helps...

Thanks for you reply. However this trick does not work when you replace the image in the same location. Windows 10 1909 simply does not update lock screen picture in this case.

Any other clues guys?

Is there anything that actually triggers lock screen picture change in the system?

What I'm getting on the Lockscreen is an image that shows when booting before logging in, the one that gives a choice of like or not like, changes every time.

You mean you have set Windows Spotlight?
