Lock vs Login screen screenshot

Thanks Josey.

I followed the tutorial with interesting results. Changing the registry setting did two things. It switched the "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" to Off. I rebooted just to see what would happen. The background on the sign-in screen was the same gray background I mentioned that now shows when I'm logging off.

Putting the "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" back to On returned the display to the incorrect/undesired screenshot. So, something changed, but not to what we want.

Isn't the lock screen same as login screen?
I never lock mine since I am the only user.

Not necessarily, sir. It's an option you can select, and it is what I want. My lock screen screenshot and my sign-in screen screenshot are displaying different pictures. I'd like them to display the same picture, which they did before the latest Windows 10 update.

Hi Josey -

I've run the scan, and it indicates no problems.

Hi Josey -

I've tried your suggestions, and they do not address the issue. I do not want to change default or user lock screen screenshot. That is fine. I do not want to disable the logon (sign-in) screenshot either. That leaves me with the gray screen I mentioned earlier in the thread.

What I want to do is get my sign-in screen screenshot to be the same as my lock screen screenshot. That's it. I have the "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" selector set to On. This issue started with the latest update to Windows 10 (now at 16299 on my machine.) This is happening on my Surface Pro 4, though I don't know how or if that's relevant. If you need other info to help solve the problem I'm actually having, please let me know. Thank you again!
