    Hello juju, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

    If you haven't already, download a new copy of the program from the developer's site to make sure it's the latest version.

    I have the latest version = ) I tried their .Pri recommendation I am able to chose the picture but when I apply it and test it, it flickers the login screen.. Fortunately I can log on to my Windows 7 SSD and copy the .Pri backup that I had and can log back in to windows 10..

    thanks for the quick response though = ) I really want to use this program since I have a bg changer in windows 7 that works perfectly.

    EDIT!!! Ok so it turns out that my Windows.UI.Logon.pri was either corrupt or when I've applied and used this app before the 1511 or version update for windows 10.. is it possible that the old .pri weren't replaced? I had to download the .pri file from the author and good thing I can use windows 7 to access my Windows 10 OS drive and access my system resources folder from windows 7 if anyone have go through this problem.. and deleted the .pri and .pri.bak file and copy and pasted it in there with just this single file. I've saved the downloaded .pri file for back up just in case this happens again. Hope this helps anyone! I love changing my login screen I can't understand why Microsoft won't add this feature.

    UPDATE:

    Previously on PC, there were two separate backgrounds for the Lock screen and then the logon screen. Starting in Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14279, Microsoft is merging the experience so there is just a single background – your Lock screen background. This is similar to the behavior seen on mobile. If you have a custom Lock screen background set, you will see your Lock screen background is now used for both the Lock screen and logon screen. If you’re a Windows Spotlight user – hold tight, you’ll see this change soon in a future build. We’re also working on some additional tweaks here to make the transition between the Lock screen and logging in much smoother.

    It would seem the software is out of date and don't work no more.

    I was hopeful, but kept getting the error message below even though this is an administrator account and used "Run as administrator" on the app.
