The image specified by the Group Policy now appeared as expected. I tried changing LockImageFlags from 1 to 0 and locked the computer. This is unexpected, but taking a hint from 'Pure Genius' above, I looked in HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lock Screen\Creative. It even changes periodically as it did before. After an existing user signs in and locks the computer, their previous lock screen picture appears. EnabledĮvery time the computer starts, the specified image shows up. Enabled, set UNC path to jpg file in public location.

"Force a specific default lock screen image". Assigning these entries only worked partially:Ĭomputer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Personalization\ I have started by using the Local Group Policy Editor. I am testing a rollout of a standard lock screen for all the computers in various OUs. This all worked for me after a day of messing with everything else you guys have shown :-) HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lock Screen\Creative Then under the user context, via the login script, you'll need to get rid of a key that may be present (May not need!) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization LockScreenImage - REG_SZ - C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\backgroundDefault.jpg (not sure if it matters but I couldn't get it to work from C:\windows\system32\oobe also i removed the quotes around the path) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\SystemĭisableLockScreenAppNotification - REG_DWORD - 1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\SystemĭisableLogonBackgroundImage - REG_DWORD - 00000001Ĭopy your image to C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\backgroundDefault.jpg For a purely registry point of view this is how I got it to work.įirst you must disable via the workstation context (i've included removing the logon background too!)
