Their Anniversary update also re-enabled "fast boot" which brings on its other slew of problems. On my rig if I DISABLE fast boot it shaves between 2-3 seconds off the boot time and re-enables the Windows Start sound. Why is MS so keen on changing these settings everytime an update drops? I still miss my logon sound
Hello, first post. I'm on build 14971 and experiencing some weird behaviour.
When I play with the "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" setting:
even though it shouldn't affect the lock screen (only the sign in screen) I get this when it's ON:
and this when it's OFF:
But in any case the sign in screen (which i can't take a screenshot of) is always a solid accent color!
any ideas? i want the windows spotlight picture to appear in both lock on and sign in screen.
Thank you!

If you turn on Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen, then you will need to make sure that you have Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing checked in your visual effects settings to prevent the lock screen background not displaying properly.
If you are using Citrix receiver, it WILL turn off "Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing". Other apps may also do the same thing.
I disabled all items in the "Task Manager" startup tab. Lockscreen worked perfectly and shows the spotlight wallpaper. I then added them back in, one at a time and did a logout/login. The setting was still on until... I found my lock screen killer. I use a Citrix application to logon to my work related VDI. There are 2 Citrix services that were starting at logon. They both will kill the lock screen background by disabling "Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing". Citrix says they are incompatible. To further prove the theory, I enabled everything else but the Citrix services and reset the animation setting, I can login/logout and reboot and the lock screen always shows the Spotlight picture.
Long story short, it may not be Windows 10 that is the culprit. You may have an app that is disabling that setting.
